Pink, Yellow and White Blooms: This Week in My Maryland Yard

I started a This Week in My Maryland Yard tradition last year on a different website. Now that I have my own blog it seems right to share my flowers with you here. I hope you enjoy them. It's early in the growing season but a quick walk around my yard showed definite signs of spring. The first primrose blooms of the year light up a shady area, daffodils brighten up the curb and hellebores (also known as Lenten roses) bring color underneath our largest lilac and rose of Sharon bushes. Spring is such a joyful time. I feel like God is showering us with his artistic love when viewing the beautiful blooms. May you feel His loving presence in your heart today!

Blooming Hellebores

Today I noticed that our hellebores were blooming so of course I had to take a few photographs. Only two of our six or so hellebore plants are in bloom at the moment but it was a nice sight for January in Maryland. Normally when I first notice flowers on the hellebores there's snow on the ground but today we had spring like temperatures and blue skies that melted away this weekend's snow.

Hopefully some of my white bloomed hellebores will flower soon. Comment below or email me at lovejoypeas@gmail.com if you'd like photographs of the white hellebore flowers. I think hellebores are also called Christmas roses and Lenten roses so you may know them by another name. Hope you enjoy my photographs. May God bless you!
