Hellebores are called "Christmas Roses"
The weather has been so mild that this plant has burst into FULL bloom. (I bought the plant back in September with what I thought would be dormant buds.)
November Bloom Day didn't happen
The weekend of Halloween, we got 18 inches of very wet, heavy snow overnight and lost power for 8 days. The garden and bushes were crushed. Trees were broken. The day after we got power back, November 6th, I left for a week long show in Philadelphia. The following week was spent cleaning up after the devastation.
October Bloom Day was spent indoors, at a craft fair
There has been very little splashy color this fall. Nearly all the maples turned gold, or dropped rematurely. These reds through my livingroom window made up for most of it, though.
September Bloom Day, and getting colder...
(Emma and Kitt supervised the photography.)
Late August-Early September Bloom Day
I love the way the anemones look like dancers caught in motion ... (This was late since I was on an island in Norway on the 15th of August. And rather than post photos from there, I'm going to keep this blog as a record of my Connecticut garden.)
Bloom Day, July 15th
No photos of Rosanne/Roxanne (?) geranium which is doing well in two locations or the maxi Rhododendron, which is just finishing. Also, no photos of the small, deep red Cattleya, or the monardas - red and fuchsia. The phlox are just beginning. It's been wet enough here that everything is flourishing.

June '11 Bloom Day
Yellow flowers seem to be increasing over and above the other colors - Irises, Marguerite Daisies, Evening Primroses, tall Lysimachias. (The iris even seem to be framed by the window.)
