It's certainly a crazy year. One of our well-established tree ferns is
sending out new fronds! I'm off down the garden to inspect the rest and see
what's going on.

I have a hellebore in full flower (white, double) on the allotment,
flowering for the first time. It is a self-seedling I have been
nurturing. I have a lot of hellebores on the allotment, but no doubles
and none that have flowered out of season.
Is there a variety which flowers now, is this a freak or is it just
the effects of the weather?
