Brief window of decent weather here so ventured out with camera:

1. This clump of Iris unguicularis is very floriferous at present, probably due to mild weather.
2. Helleborus x glandorfii seems to be a good "doer" and has been flowering for some time.
3. Helleborus niger 'Potter's Wheel', somewhat muddy after all the rain.
4. Helleborus 'Walberton's Rosemary' has also been in flower for some time and also seems to be enjoying the weather.
5. Helleborus argutifolius 'Silver Lace'

One more, Helleborus abschaticus, like all the Hellebores receiving too much attention from the molluscs in all this wet weather. And I see Amana edulis is about to open!

Some sunshine today for a very welcome change (back to normal tomorrow!) and Daphne bholua 'Jacqueline Postill' is doing her stuff with the whole of the back garden smelling great.

It's great to hear that your Daphne bholua 'Jacqueline Postill' is now living up to expectations.  Ours is just beginning to scent the garden :)

Hamamelis x intermedia 'Diane'

I love the 'folded' petals.  Pity there's no scent.

Sorry Brian I missed the above. Yes, after a very slow start in life she's doing rather well now. I'm convinced it was a result of my telling her a couple of years ago that if she didn't start to perform she'd be dug up!

Sarcococca is a joy at this time of year - a sprig brought into the house will scent a room for days. Here are Sarcococca orientalis, Sarcococca confusa, Sarcococca hookeriana var. digyna, and Sarcococca ruscifolia.
