Well all I could think of was Florida Keys – fabulous trip there this year and drew this whilst there.

Pen drawing with derwent watercolour pencils.

In her book on Greenhouse Gardening Anne  Swithinbank suggests potting up hellebores and keeping them in the greenhouse. They remain in prime condition and the nodding heads can be seen  more easily when they are on a bench. I have several now and a couple are flowering. This one is Ellen double. Quite beautiful!

Actually it would be better if I had turned the picture the right way up!

Oh dear! This is my poor Kalanchoe. Consigned to the greenhouse over Christmas . Although it is kept frost free the greenhouse was just too cold for it – rot has begun on the main stem. In an effort to save it I have now transferred it back to the conservatory. You live and learn!

Was awful! Cold & miserable. But here in the greehouse  it’s nice and cosy, well, better than outside.
