This weeks Theme is Five

Since this weeks Photo Hunters theme is five, I thought that since I’ve been taking so many photos of my garden that I’d find one of my Spring blooming flowers.

Did you know that there aren’t that many Spring bulbs or perennials that have five petals? Not of the ones that I grow anyway!

Well I found a lovely photo or two of a five petaled flower. I took these photos of my Hellebores (Christmas Rose) about two weeks ago. They are still blooming! I love how long they last.

5 petals and the bud of a soon to be new flower:

Sorry I was so late getting my Photo Hunter post done!

That’s lovely. I definitely need a new camera– and some new flowers ;)

How beautiful! I’ll have to add this to my list of plants that I want to have in the garden.

lovely flowers… and, I agree, hard to find 5-petal flowers! I settled for a 5 flower bouquet!
