Felicia's Mom - I'm sitting here wondering what other colour grass ever is but green and I can only think that yours is still covered in snow? Or is it yellowish from being dried out last year? You must let me know. :)
Only three weeks ago I took this picture because I was so excited that my hellebores were coming up.

The light is very wintry and you can see a bit of ice in the background. There is a big difference now. We have had lovely sunny days where you can actually feel some heat!
Did you know you were about to become a pillar?
Grass around here tends to be brownish-green during the winter (emphasis on the brown.) That's why I like it better when it is covered in snow!
It will suddenly become green -- late March or so.
I didn't know that! Thank you for clearing that up for me. In the west of Scotland we have rain all year round, so our grass is always fairly green.
There indeed exists a grass that is black, it's called "ophiopogon negresence" or "beard of a snake" and it really looks amazing in the garden...unfortunately it's quite expensive and I only have one spot in the garden where it grows, but everyone gasps at it's sight...have you ever seen it?!
Your hellebores looks great, mine won't show up, yet, but our weather is really crazy at the moment and I almost feel like already having April!!!
Are Sam, Daisy and Jessica keen gardeners, too?!;) :)
Yes, I have a tiny little bit of black grass. It's very small, I don't think most people see it. It looked great last year though and I'm sure it will get bigger in time.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, we have NO grass at all. This year our winter was a real winter - snow, cold weather. It started raining today, but I am sure, we will still have some cold weather.
I WANT SPRING!!!
How funny to think of green grass year round. Like ES, ours is mostly brown now...a colour it reverts too in August, again, when I decline to water daily. As I look out my office window, there are a few patches of snow, from plowing, mostly blackish grey, sitting on 'grass' the colour of straw, nealry.
My kitties have been nosing their way onto the porch lately. I know they sense the warm weather of spring...though, it is prolly 6 weeks off, at a minimum. I don't plant much before Mother's day here....too iffy.
KK, your kitties are beautiful. I might have asked you this before...but, do they come inside, too? I am just asking, not judging, just asking.
Yes, the cats come inside too. At the moment they are all lying around various sources of heat. Samantha is lying inside a bag in my husband's wardrobe! :eek: Not quite sure why. She has never done that before. He is working away this week and she loves her daddy very much. Perhaps she misses him.
We have a catflap on the back door and the cats have access to the garden. During the winter they spend all their time inside, but when the weather gets a little warmer they like sitting in the garden.
Such cute kitties! And beautiful plant specimans!:D
Aww, that is so cute! :)
