Flowers in the House

You were expecting maybe daffodils?  Well, so was I.  The yard is full of them.  Sadly it was cold and rainy all day Sunday and i just didn't feel like going outside long enough to cut some.  So, you will have to be satisfied with the "leftovers" from this past week. 

Mitchell came home with my favorite tulips last weekend.  He had searched out the tightest buds, so they are still pretty after a whole week.
Fortunately, the hellebores are still going strong and I cut a new bouquet every week.
How can you not love them?  You can't!

Thanks to Jane at Small But Charming for hosting today's flower house tour.  If you haven't visited her, please be sure to hop over and see who else is playing this month.

  1. Nothing says spring better than tulips but I'm very impressed with your hellebores. Very pretty.

    I wish I could say I had daffodils out in my yard. They're just peeking their heads out of the soil and with a snowstorm expected tonight, I'm sure they're still a few weeks away.

  2. Good morning! Guess someone slept in this cold and snowy? morning.

    I awoke to flurries and cold winds.

    Much better to come and visit you in your flower filled house.

    Stay warm.

  5. Those pink tulips are charming, and the hellebores stunning! I'm not sure when they would bloom up here in Minnesota, but I really must give them a try sometime.

    1. Don't know about Minnesota, but it's certainly worth a try. Imagine how pretty they would be with all your snow.

  6. Oh the hellebores are gorgeous. I never see them here in Ontario. Such a shame because the colors are so pretty.

    1. Don't know what their range is or, really, what your weather is like. I assume colder than ours (north!), but it may not be. Might be worth a try. They might need more sun "up" there.

  7. I just have this thing about tulips, it goes with cheese, and blond braids and a funny white hat :-). The hellebores are my favorite.

  10. Pink tulips .... a favorite! The hellebores are stunning... I wonder if these lovelies will grow in South Georgia? I don't think I have ever seen them... but then, perhaps I have! Thanks for sharing...

    1. I was told once that hellebors are native to parts of Africa. I think Georgia might be a breeze after that. Maybe you should try ... just provide some afternoon shade?

      thanks for the visit.

  11. Those tulips still look great after a full week in a vase.
    A yard full of daffodils?
    Sounds wonderful!

    1. If they like your location, they are ridiculously easy to grow. Ours seed thousands every year and I just let them go. They do have to be cleaned up twice a year and that is a bit messy (and hard on the arms!) but well worth the time and effort.
