Elephant's ears

Friday flowers - bergenia. Some people are sniffy about them, but with almost nothing else flowering just now, why not enjoy them?

I clicked here hoping you'd have Friday flowers and what a delight! They are beautiful.I have one little splash of white under the trees in my garden, the hellebores are just opening. A sunny weekend might encourage them.

Wow are these flowering in your garden now? We are having another snow storm.

Your desk is beautiful (needs some knitting).

What lovely flowers I have never seen them before. And very cheery as well!

Posted by: Jo | 25 February 2011 at 08:56 PM

Yes, my hellebores are on the way, too.

Kathy, it's been quite mild here for the past few days so suddenly there is some colour in the garden. When will your snow end?

Posted by: Cornflower | 25 February 2011 at 09:04 PM

I've always just left those flowers growing in the garden, but today I thought I'd pick one head and see if it will last any time in water - even if it turns out to be not much good for cutting it's brightening my desk (!) just now.

They're beautiful - I can't imagine why some people would be'sniffy' about them! I'm going to try and fnd some for our garden.

Enjoy your flowers, they're lovely. The wind has been howling here all day and we have been told to expect the rain that is currently falling to develop into snow, oh joy! Maybe this is winter's last hurrah and we can start to move towards spring.

Never seen or heard of them before. They are such a soft shade of pink. Absolutely beautiful.

Posted by: Mystica | 26 February 2011 at 02:48 AM

I'm sure you can imagine!

I have no idea why I don't like them much, but I don't!

Ooh I am not sniffy about them at all, I love everything that is brave enough to put on a show at this time if year.

Posted by: Rebecca | 26 February 2011 at 01:47 PM

The flowers are pretty but they are overpowered by the ugly (in my opinion) leaves, so I am afraid that I am a 'sniffy' one.
