Just been catching up with you Marmee,lovely fuchsia photos and your previous post was delightful with so many lovely flower photos. I find Hellebores do very well under trees in a shady woodland type setting and the cyclamen are happy in the same conditions.
betsy, yes the wildflower tina identified as the star of bethleham. i really think they are quite sweet. we did get lots of soft gentle rain...which is perfect for all the new plants...first day i haven't had to water in days. that pollen is making it hard for me to be outside. i had to wear a mask the other day while mowing. i have bad spring allergies. springtime hugs.
ssb, thank you for your input on the hellebores...i know right way i am going to put them...near my cyclamen. i have fenced that area off from the (4) dogs so it should be happy there. thanks for catching up i feel like i am way behind...can't seem to blog and do the spring garden.
tina, we did get lots of lovely gentle rain. it was perfect for all the newly planted stuff...veggies and flowers. i love it when it rains like this right after planting.

We love the community of Leiper's Fork and the quaintness of the town (no lights).

I think fuchsia is a such a beautiful plant.
Beautiful, Marmee... Everything you grow is just gorgeous!!!! Did you find out what the TN Wildflower was????
Have a great day.. Did you get rain??? We haven't had any yet--but they say we will. We need it to get rid of this yellow pollen all over the place...
Hugs,
Betsy
