First Bloom in 2010 – Helleborus
Helleborus
Update 2/15/10: I think the name of this one is Helleborus x hybridus `WD Elegance White’. It’s the only one I’ve found that looks just like it.

Ramblings of a waterlogged Seattle area gardener and wannabe urban farmer
Garden Books I LOVE:
FREE-RANGE CHICKEN GARDENS. I have the pleasure of being included in Jessi Bloom's beautiful book (pages 27, 51 upper left, 112, 114-117). Check it out!
THE NEW LOW MAINTENANCE GARDEN. This book by Val Easton is one of my favorite design books.
WICKED PLANTS: Great read about poisonous plants by Amy Stewart.
THE VEGETABLE GARDENER'S BIBLE. My favorite vegetable garden reference book by Edward C. Smith.
GROW. COOK. EAT. by Willi Galloway is a beautiful vegetable garden cookbook. Great recipes and tips on eating ALL parts of the veggie - not just the mainstream parts.

Is this blooming in your garden now? It’s beautiful! Do you know what type it is? My Hellebores look boring compared to this one.

Catherine, It just opened today! I was so excited! My others are still small and sad looking. I don’t know the name — I’m horrible at knowing the names of my plants. All I know is it’s a double pink with freckles. Spring is almost here!
