I love them, and I think I need to add more! The PNW seems the perfect place for gardening, but I suppose that means things grow extra prolifically and need extra training. ;-) Thanks for joining the Lessons Learned meme!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-42152258945392217452016-03-19T01:52:43.298-07:002016-03-19T01:52:43.298-07:00Aha!

I did try the In a Vase on Monday suggestion of searing the stems in boiling water first before putting them in the vase, but they also say daffodils will poison the other flowers, so a no-win situation, I guess I should have had the daffodils in a separate vase for a while as well, they did outlast the hellebores a lot.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-57058243999572687682016-03-18T12:15:29.748-07:002016-03-18T12:15:29.748-07:00Thanks, Elizabeth, I think I just happened to pick...Thanks, Elizabeth, I think I just happened to pick a good site for the hellebores, on the east side of the house and shaded a good part of the day by tall cedar trees, I'm thinking of trying to spread them more but don't know quite where to put them for a similar effect. Alison of Bonney Lassie has a hellebore "hedge" I find quite attractive. I'm thinking I should mark the spreading daffodil clumps and dig some bulbs when they are dormant so I could spread them around more. Daffodils are one of those lovely plants perfectly adapted to our wet and dry seasons, like the Hellebores.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-69814887618306528382016-03-18T12:07:31.143-07:002016-03-18T12:07:31.143-07:00I think the hot dry summer was discouraging to the...I think the hot dry summer was discouraging to the mushrooms, I didn't see as many, so maybe finally getting lots of rain encouraged them, Anna.

It gives the vase with the hellebores a nice bounce with its spring color too. As to my mistakes in the garden, one I'm struggling with at the moment is whether planting cuttings of Cotula lineariloba in one bed was foolish - it provides fast ground cover but it's already engulfing other plants.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-74064028462521810672016-03-14T10:21:49.383-07:002016-03-14T10:21:49.383-07:00Thanks, Amelia, I enjoy them in the winter and hop...Thanks, Amelia, I enjoy them in the winter and hope to find a nice double in the plant sales soon.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-54839092064827031472016-03-14T10:01:54.131-07:002016-03-14T10:01:54.131-07:00Thanks, Ruby, it's wonderful to have something...Thanks, Ruby, it's wonderful to have something new blooming nearly every day now!
