Spring!

Well, spring is finally here -- below are a few pics I took at the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens this past weekend...














































Here's a good plant of Helleborus foetidus 'Wester Flisk' showing good, red stems -- the Bearsfoot Hellebore is a unique plant to say the least.























Here's Helleborus niger, the Christmas Rose in all its glory.























































































There's something "delicious" about Muscari, the Grape Hyacinth, outstanding here in a large stone planter.














































Finally, Sedum 'Angelina', which is an absolute winner for "new introductions" in recent years.























Here's to dirt under your nails.
