Hello Everyone!
I'm excited about my new plant. I saw this bloom in a bouquet on a tablescape from a blogger in Sweden at Between Naps on the Porch "Tablescape Thursday" about a year ago. I have wanted to buy this plant from the first time I saw it. I also love the name. 'Lenten Rose' It belongs to Hellebore's family.
'Blue Lady'
This is an evergreen perennial that flowers when the weather is cool. It has an exceptional long blooming season, and is useful in shady woodland spots under the canopy of deciduous trees.
We had a frosty night and the plant got a little frost bite.
Thank you for visiting My Cozy Corner.
As you can see I will be busy in my garden for a few days.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful deep color. I have never seen this plant before.
ReplyDeleteI would love having one of those plants. Such a pretty and unusual flower. They would not grow here.

I love the color of these. I keep planting more and more blues and purples in my garden. These would look wonderful near my purple plum trees.
