Helleborus orientalis 'Harvington Hybrids', in a vase on Monday, January, Lonicera fragrantissima, miniature vase, primroses, Primula vulgaris, Viburnum bodnantense New Dawn, winter honeysuckle

It is cold and bright here and these precious blooms are out in my garden today.

A double Hellebore, primrose and Viburnum.

So pretty and so tiny. In my tiniest “vase” which is 5cm x 4cm stamped 80 underneath, it was purchased in a junk shop. Perhaps it was for mustard? Anyway it is white and perfect to hold these minuscule offerings.

Sat on my kitchen window cill I hope the warmth of the house will encourage the viburnum and winter honeysuckle Lonicera fragrantissima to open a little for me to enjoy the sweet honeyed scent.

What do you mean you cannot see the honeysuckle, it’s there, behind the Hellebore.

I have a few snowdrops in the garden but they are so new, so precious, I couldn’t bring myself to pick them. I hope you will now take a look at our host Cathy to see what else is flowering in deepest January.

Have a good week. D.

Hellebore niger, Helleborus orientalis 'Harvington Hybrids', in a vase on Monday, Viburnum bodnantense New Dawn

Welcome to January 2016.  I am joining Cathy at https://ramblinginthegarden.wordpress.com with her weekly meme.  The in a vase on Monday is a great start to the week and I encourage all of you to take a look at some of the other vases submitted.  If you are inspired to take part, remember to add a link back to her site.

I admit this Monday my offering is hardly an arrangement, barely a vase full.20160104-101423-36863462.jpg  Three Hellebores and a snip of Viburnum bodnantense New Dawn.

Really it is more like a pot of samples, a selection for identification. Nothing artistic.

Yet they are beautiful.  Shy faced Hellebore, exposing their faces early this year due to El Nino.

Trumpets of show-stopping scent from New Dawn.

Back to school and work, 2016 is a go-go.  Judging by the early starts out in the garden, it may be interesting.  Have a great week and let us all hope the rain stops soon.  Enough already.
