Waiting and longing
for the dappled hellebores
to do their spring waltz
Great minds really do think alike don’t they? This week my restless friend Jo not only had the same thoughts as I did, but she totally eclipsed me! She’s a sweetheart so I’ll forgive her! Pop over and read her hellebore haiku.

That’s so beautiful ♡
Thanks Aayusi!

What a totally perfect haiku-and-image my dear: full of emotion and imagery, just as a good haiku should be.
Thanks sweetie, have you seen Jo’s, we did the most amazing thing!
You did indeed – a joint amazing thing, instead of separate and ongoing amazing things!
I thought I was seeing double when I opened my Reader this morning. I prepared this last night and was waiting for your post to link up! Sorry! 😦 But it did make me smile 🙂 And your haiku is beautiful. Happy Thursday, Gilly! http://restlessjo.me/2016/01/14/lazy-poets-winter-garden/
And I scheduled mine last night!!!
Lovely work! 🙂
Thanks so much Dina!
Happy Haiku! As I mentioned to Jo, my winter rose (the plain white one) has no flower buds this year 😦
I really hope it is OK. Last year I had over a dozen flowers, perhaps it wore itself out?
Love hellebores, so many fab colours now.
This is mine from last year: https://smallbluegreenflowers.wordpress.com/2015/03/16/christmas-rose/
Fantastic, thanks for inviting me over x:-)x and I hope your white one surprises you next year, maybe you can pot it up in a few weeks?
Ours had to be moved and split up when we had fences replaced this Summer, Jude. Dig em up! 🙂
It is in a pot! Nowhere else to put it at the moment.
Ah, yes! You’ll have to hurry up and move 🙂
Stunning haiku, Gilly. ❤
You know the names of so many flowers. I know like four. 😦
Hahaha I bet you know a lot more than that really!
Dandelions, daisies, roses, and… what the heck is the fourth one? Um…
I know! Carnations.

Thank you,do you have any very dark ones? they are my favourite!

Oh… so beautiful, Gilly!
Thank you Amy!
Lovely! A spring waltz of dappled hellebores….delightful
Thanks Sue 🙂

Eclipse? You’re joking! I love the idea of the Spring waltz 🙂 We have some of the plummy dark ones too. (or we did last year, before Mick had to move them all 🙂 )
Lovely post, and I do love a hellebore✨Must get out into the garden this weekend and look for some💕
Beautiful photo, words, and sentiment, Gilly!
I miss flowers like Hellebores, daffodils, snowdrops, all those delightful signs of spring you get in your part of the world Gilly, and this is a beautiful photo with such meaningful words in your haiku. You and Jo really are soul sisters.
Great minds, you are right! They are both lovely!
You have both done a fantastic job Gilly 🙂
