Consider me interested in a Hellebore book for sure!
ReplyDeleteYes, I would! My love for hellebores is bigger than my knowledge. ; )
ReplyDeleteKatarina
PS Thanks for reminding me of April Fool - need to watch out for my students today...
Me too! I have been drooling over everyone's Hellebore this spring. I have never grown them, but I have seeds to try that have to be started 15-20 weeks before last frost! Whew! So, yes! I am definitely interested :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try to win. I may just have to buy it if I don't win :)
ReplyDeleteOkay you're in my sidebar- come check it out :)
ReplyDeleteGraham Rice is such an authority on things.
ReplyDeleteHave you read his book on Annuals, another gem. His blog is worth keeping an eye on too.
On a different note, were you in Germany when the wall came down?
Rob
Do I ever want my name thrown in the drawing! My hellebore garden could greatly benefit from such a book. I really want to try seeds but have heard it can be quite challenging. You're in my sidebar, front and center. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteRob, We left in December 1989, so we were just leaving when it was happening...
ReplyDeleteWe went to East Berlin prior to the wall coming down. It was like a scene from an old movie. We did manage to purchase some lovely hand crafted pieces of glass in the form of vases, plates and goblets;-)
Jan - as ever, so original, generous and fun! Sure I'd love to be in the draw. cheers, catmint
ReplyDeleteCount me in! That looks like a wonderful book..one I would love to have! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
Jan ! That is a very generous offer girl ! I will try and get myself organized and have you in my sidebar too ! Nice way to start this month : ) Thanks !
ReplyDeleteHi girl ! I gottcha' on my sidebar : )
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know more about growing Hellebores. Thanks for this great opportunity, Jan. You're very generous and thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteHappy April Fools Day! :)
I would love to learn more about this plant that I keep seeing everyone post about, count me in, putting this in my sidebar now!
ReplyDeleteJan, I just got my first hellebore on Saturday, and would love to win this book. Please enter me. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteJan what a nice offer. You're in my sidebar too.
ReplyDeleteDo you deliver in Romania? If the answer is yes, count me in, please! Thank you in advance!
ReplyDeleteI'm interested. Anything to do with Hellebores gets my interest. I think I read that one from the library when it was first published in hardcover, but I can't remember. I am currently reading Burrell & Tyler's Hellebore book (also from the library).
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say that it is a great book and whoevers name is drawn will be in for a real treat .
ReplyDeleteI already have a copy in my bookshelf :) A most generous giveaway Jan !
Jan,
ReplyDeleteJust back from the local nursery, got 2 sick and discounted hellebores and 2 pricey beautiful hellebores. Now if we only knew where to plant them.
Jan, I linked you in a article I just posted.
ReplyDeletePlease enter me!
ReplyDeleteJan, please enter me in the drawing. I bought my first hellebore last year and really love it! You have been in my sidebar for some time. I will gladly pay the postage to the US if I win.
ReplyDeleteWould love a chance to win the book....it looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi Jan. You sure are sweet. How kind to offer a give-away on a very popular perennial. I would love a chance at winning the book. I have zero hellebores in my garden but plan to remedy that as soon as I can find one to buy! Thanks so much. I will link you in my next post.
ReplyDeleteHI Jan, Feel free to post my giveaway in your sidebar. It is certainly good for an extra entry. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any Hellebores and hope to moving this spring but your giveaway book is beautiful.
Hi Jan,
ReplyDeleteCount me in, too. I need to get ready for bed soon, so if I get a post that links here, I'll let you know.
Happy April! I hope we don't get the snow we are forecasted to get this weekend. I hope you are getting good spring weather.
I don't grow hellebores. But this is a cool giveaway. Don't sign me up but I do want to know who wins.
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes !! please enter me for a chance to win your very generous gift.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are well and enjoying some good weather. Ours is improving daily.
Guess I'd better get my name in for the drawing Jan (meant to do it a couple days ago). As much as I've complained for years about how (don't shoot me) ugly my hellebores was - this year it finally turned pretty and my picture I posted was so lovely I've eaten all my bad words and decided it has gotten prettier with age. Then I saw all of the pictures of everyone elses and . . . ok there are some really pretty ones that I didn't know existed and now I will probably have to have some more. But only if I can go shopping with Catherine and get in on some really great sales! ;-) Because those little buggers are spendy!!!
ReplyDeleteJan, what a lovely give - away. Please consider me in your draw.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry I have not been stopping by regularly and commenting. I do speed read everyone's blogs, I just am overwhelmed with "LIFE" at the moment, it seems to be all I can do to keep up. It is a rather good thing that the garden is too cold to work in. That would just be another thing on my 2do list. I kind of feel like I need to write a post apologizing for not being "there" for everyone right now.
Looking forward to seeing who the lucky winner is!
Jen
Love those hellebores! I might need to order that book myself, as I'm not a lucky person. But I just called Heronswood and added another hellebore to my order (it might be too late, I'll find out when the order arrives with 2 or 3 expensive plants inside). When deciding between plants and books about plants, the plants usually get the funding :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Jan,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I haven't been on my blog much this past week after I got posted on Monday. I haven't felt too good and just read your comment. I would have put you in my sidebar had I found you sooner. I never mind doing that & I am so sorry to have missed it. Next time contact me & I will definitely help you out any time you like.
Debbie
Count me in!
ReplyDeleteI have the book on my page.
I have a competition also - look on the right om my page it is a neckless.

I want it ! I WANT IT!!!
