And the prize goes to…
Hellebore (details unknown)
It started out as a cutting from one of the SAGBUTT (Seattle Area Garden Bloggers United To Talk) gardeners, Karen of Gardenwalks if memory serves. During a 2009 gathering I received a cutting from her garden. Last year the plant showed marked growth but it gave no blooms. I first noticed it blooming about a week ago. But it wasn’t until yesterday that I was able to catch a break from the winds and rains to attempt some pictures. Glad I took the time since today the winds and rains are back.
Nearby, under the lilac bush, the snowdrops have pushed up and are in a holding pattern as are most of our other spring bulbs.
These snowdrops still have to wait a spell before they get to shine. But typically around here, February brings a couple weeks of warm, dry, sunny weather. Come on February! Hurry up and get here already!

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
Really fun to see the new blooms.
(Really good to know you pried yourself away from, what is it, Vampire Wars, to go look too!)
Nice to see these signs! I'll be out today looking too. Paula
@Rant Woman -- YES!! That's for sure!
@Petunia -- The various bulbs are pushing up greenery, so perhaps spring will come sometime soon.
I love Hellebores! I wonder if it might be the seedling that I brought to one of the meetings?
Today ended up being nice and I found several daffodils making their way up. Your post just reminded me that I planted snowdrops last fall, I'll have to go look for them.
Welcome back both blooms and posts! All we have is more blooming snow in Maine.
Ici, en Suisse, le printemps n'est pas encore là. Les bulbes ne sortent pas encore de terre. Et c'est dommage, car je n'aime pas l'hiver. Ici, c'est trop long.
Merci pour les visites et les commentaires.

New blooms are so worth the effort, though I don't know how you keep your sanity with all the rain! The gorgeous green growth must make for a nice trade off.
nice
It's lovely. But I've never heard of a place where ANYTHING blooms before the snowdrops.

You're back! Yay! With a lovely bloom and tales of rain, which I do believe are on their way down here. :( Oh, well, we've had some good hot sun. Cannot complain. I'll try to wish some up your way. :)
