Hi GPODers !

Today ’s photos from from Rhonda Molin in West Grove , Pennsylvania , who has shared scenes and peculiar highlights from her beautiful garden in every time of year ( curb out those previous compliance : A Guest in Rhonda ’s Garden , Rhonda ’s Pennsylvania Garden , A Safe Garden wedding ceremony in the Time of COVID , andFall in Rhonda ’s Garden ) . Today we ’re being handle to her potpourri of hellebores that signal the ending of winter and showtime of natural spring .

My name is Rhonda Molin . I ’m from West Grove , PA . We were in zone 6b but now are sort as zone 7a . Here are some of my hellebores from this give .

The real beauty in hellebore come from their multifariousness . While it can be gruelling to admire each heyday ’s unique details because of their nodding habit , get up close reveals a delightful mix of blooming shapes and color combinations . This lovely white variety border in a purply - garden pink might be Winter Jewels ® ‘ Fire and Ice ’ ( Helleborusxhybridus‘Ice and Fire ’ , Zone 4–9 ) .

While not as meretricious as the more colorful cultivars , there is still something to get laid about the immature hellebores that take a flush of light and bright unripened after a long winter often dominated by browns .

When little else is growing , and even less is in efflorescence , hellebores can be the lone mavin in a garden bed while still providing a mix of colouring to work with .

Aside from unbelievable gloss options and bloom mutant , hellebore are also divers in their foliage . I ’m in person a devotee of the varieties that feature darker leaf and stanch . The hellebore above looks to be a HGC ® Pink Frost ( Helleborus‘Coseh 710 ’ , Zone 4–9 ) .
