Hellebore flowers are not in season here at all but the other day i came across this photo of a hellebore that i must have taken last winter. I love those dark pink hellebores, and the greeny/cream ones too, that are sometimes tinged with red like flushed cheeks.
Anyway, I got my watercolour paints out and then took the painting into town to get printed into postcards. I think I'll send a set to a garden-loving friend who is going into wintertime right now.
I hope you have a lovely weekend, blog-friends.

p.s. if you're in NZ, you might want to take a look at this interesting cultural competition: Mix and Mash. It involves 'remixing' works of art and poetry into your own, new works and there are lots of different categories (including visual art, educational resources, poetry, music, etc) and amazing prizes, too.
