Christmas Rose

I was at Wisley today with a non-blipping friend but one who kindly held my umbrella so that I could today's blip. This was taken by the raised flower beds immediately behind the entrance kiosks and is an ideal place to display hellebores with their shy habit of bowing their heads.
Their common or garden name is the Christmas Rose but for an eternal optimist like me they are the sign that spring is not far off.
