Lovely hellebore
blooms this rainy winters day
cheering weary hearts.
Also called Christmas Rose, the hellebore blooms in the dead of winter bringing hope when it's dreary and wet. It's so nice having something blooming in the pot outside the door when the garden is awaiting spring. Plus it's an added bonus for the little Anna's hummingbirds who winter over. You can imagine my delight when I saw one feeding on it this morning.

Ah, nature can always cheer the soul. Nice one.
I can certainly understand how seeing a flower in the middle of winter can sooth a heart longing for the garden and Spring. This one is beautiful in both vision and words.
Peace

Lovely colours. I don't think I've ever seen a lovelier flower. A welcome sight on a dreary day.
Anything that blooms can cheer my weary heart! May the world be filled with blooms here, there, everywhere!

You've inspired me to wander in my garden when the drizzle stops and the light comes back, so I can see my own winter-blooming hellebores.
