I was strolling Home Depot and saw hellebore "Brandywine Series" at a very reasonable price and good healthy plants .. but I could not remember what the flowers looked like .. so I thought .. when I get home, I will check .. meanwhile I found a sweet little white campanula and "Miracle" heuchera .. small but healthy and cheap!
I looked up the hellebore, and said tomorrow I will grab one because they are NICE!
Yesterday ? ....................................... not one left.
LESSON LEARNED !
Meanwhile back at the farm ... I have a few plants peeking out more and more !

Get well soon! Spring is such an exciting time for gardeners & I hope your cold is short lived so that you can fully enjoy the magic of the season!
Wow, Joy how could you miss out on a great plant like that...just teasing.
I know that feeling, I guess it's there to teach us grab it and go baby.

Well, your son is a toot for passing along his cold to you. But then again, I bet you taught him to share! Your hellebores look so happy. Happy Spring...
Lovely photos ! Isn't that always the way pass it by then go back to get it and there isn't any left , Bummer ! Oh I hope you feel better soon ! Thanks for sharing . Have a good day !
I really hate when that happens. I do that all the time it seems. I am always thinking I will go back...then it is gone)-:
I hope your cold goes away fast. I hate being sick especially when there are things to do(-: No rain here lately. We could really use a lot.
What rotten luck, both for the plant and the cold!... but your flowers look beautiful! Cheers~
Looks like Spring is springing for you Joy. Such an exciting time of year to witness the rebirth of our gardens.
Joy, great photos. I love your hellebore, especially 'Niger'
Happy gardening!
that is. the. worst. I know we're not supposed to buy plants without knowing something about them but sometimes you just gotta grab it.
Hi Joy girl, hope you'll be well soon!
Our May Day was very nice with a walk through the wonderful green park and a visit in an ice cream shop ;-) sunshine and nearly no wind!! Gorgeous!

Joy, I love the lacy look of the emerging plants. And, of course, your hellebores are gorgeous! I am hoping to try 'Ivory Prince' this year as some local gardeners have reported success with it.
Love that the gardening season is finally waking up! lol
Joy, my garden is not much ahead of yours, so cold this spring. Don't you just love that Goldheart Bleeding Heart? It is like a beacon in the garden.
Eileen
I've had this same experience all too often too; it does pay to buy something when you see it! Good to see all your peekaboo plants emerging, and your header is spectacular, Joy! Hope you're feeling better soon.
Hello Eileen and Rose girls !
