A new beginning 1

 

Het is bijna een jaar geleden dat ik mijn laatste blog heb geplaatst. Maar we gaan er weer voor. We hebben helaas de afgelopen maanden geen winter weer gehad. Donker grijze luchten met veel wind en regen maakten dat de donkere dagen nog veel korter leken. Maar het is weer voorbij en vandaag was een zonovergoten dag gelukkig

Almost a year ago since I have posted the last blog. But I make a new start. The wintermonth´s did´nt bring any winterweather. Dark grey sky´s with a lot of rain and wind made the short winterday´s look shorter. But after rain and darkness we finaly have beter weather in Holland, 

At January the fifth I noticed the beautiful buds of the Helleborus were there. Alway special to see the old foliage of the Heleborus hanging to give the buds all the light they need. Time to take the old foliage afway 



 I was suprissed to see the first flower at that time of the Camelia

Snowdrop are coming up


January 13

The first flowers shown by a bulb

Helleborus. Grows fast in a week of time

Happy moment to see the Clematis showing new green and the beautiful hipp of rose  

Also a fantastic moment for me to see the roses making the start of the new growth

Planted a new rose the year before Blue Magenta. Did not bring flowers the year before I hope it will bring some this year.

Snowdrop

Have a wonderful day and great week ahead ore sweet dreams.

    The Helleborus is so beautiful.

    We had some snow in winter but also many grey days. And now cold and sunshine, the snowdrops are starting to bloom, I love them.

  4. Dag Marijke, leuk dat je weer terug bent: in het begin van een nog heel prille lente. De sneeuwklokjes zijn al net zo aarzelend als bij mij.
    Je Helleborussen zijn weer veelbelovend in jouw tuin.
    hartelijke groeten, Zem.

    1. Hallo Zem,
      Dank je wel. Klopt het leek wel of ze niet verder wilden groeien. Maar ja vorig jaar waren bijna alle bloemen opgegeten. Heb de dader nooit op kunnen sporen (lol). Ja super blij met die Helleborussen. Hoop dat er nog een hoop bloemen overblijven voor als de bestuivers wakker worden.
      Hartelijke groetjes Marijke

  5. Welcome back! Spring comes at least six weeks earlier where you are and I am sure you are enjoying these early blooms. It will be mid March at the earliest here before we see flowers in the garden, probably Snowdrops followed by Crocuses.

    1. Hello dear Gine,
      Fantastic for me to see you are still on the blog!! The Helleboruses having a lot of buds. They are so welcome at this time of the year. Maybe they are early because the garden is a very small one maybe a bit warmer! But your time will come.
      Have a wonderful rest of the week!!
      Rosehugs Marijke

  8. Hello dear Marijke,

    I'm so happy that you are back, and I have missed your blog. I envy your climate, and I wish it was spring here too. Spring will come here too, but not before in April I think.
    Your helleborus and your camellia are very beautiful.
    Rosehugs, Marit

    1. Good evening dear Marit,
      Thanks a lot for your kind words!!! I envy your climate is it not possible to change for a year or so? (fun). You have snow and cold but the white of the snow and sunshine looks much better as the dark rainy windy days we had here this winter. I love the Helleborus too so welcome at this time of the year! I hope for you spring will come your way soon!!!
      Have a wonderful evening.
