Flower Friday

Every Friday is Flower Friday on the Blipfoto site. This can be quite a challenge at this time of year and I don't always participate. But this morning I ventured outside to see what I could discover in the way of flowers in our garden. Firs stop was the greenhouse where this tiny primrose (the flower is only about 1/2") has started to put on a show.

Then I went and checked out our various hellebores and found this rather dilapidated flower. Still looks good from a distance with that purple ring around the outside but close up it's clear that the weather and snow have taken their toll.
