We had quite a bit of frost last night (Sat/Sun 4/5 Jan) The grass

was very
white this morning at the front of the house and at the time of

writing
which is 1250, it still. Brrrrrrr!
How's everyone else doing - no damage done, I hope?

After a -5 frost last night I've just taken a turn round to look for
any damage. Was amazed to find that Helleborus foetidus "Wester
Flisk" is completely black and has keeled over. Yesterday it was
flowering and looking beautiful. This has never happened to it before
and I always considered it to be very hardy. All the other hellebores
look fine. What a shock! I'll have to wait and see whether it comes
again later.
