Believe it or not, up until a few days ago at least, my Hellebores were still blooming.
I guess that goes a long way towards explaining how cold our May was here in Toronto! It’s cold no longer though, we’re currently having a major heatwave with temperatures in the 30 to 33 Celsius range ( that’s in the 90’s F) plus we’ve got humidity on top of the heat so it feels even hotter.
I haven’t checked the hellebores since this heat started, but this is what they looked like only a few days ago:
My tulips were also lovely in May. This one is called the Canada Tulip I believe due to it’s red and white coloring:
This tulip even has a cool looking flower bud. You can visit my photoblog Breath of Life to see it’s variegated bud if you’d like to.
I hope that you had a great weekend and that your Monday is going well. My Green Thumb Sunday post is late due to an allergic reaction that I had on Saturday. You can read more about it over at As the Garden Grows if you’d like.
Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday, visit As the Garden Grows for more information. GTS participants remember to check in at As the Garden Grows each week so that we’ll know you made a new post.
Wow, you did a great job catching the colors. I have seen a lot of great photos of flowers in the last couple weeks (been browsing gardening blogs) and it makes me think I should take some photography classes. As is, I can barely take a picture on my iPhone without getting my thumb involved. 😛
