RE: What's blooming? and Help please

I have 1 crocus and 1 snowdrop :-), plus winter jasmine, hellebores, mahonia
and viburnum in bloom but am worried about the leaves opening on Buddleja
alternifolia, hydrangea and others.   Alliums are about 6" high, as are
tulips, daffs and various perennials.   My Asphodeline has not died back
either - dreading a really cold spell.

My cry for help though concerns my hellebore - it is a dark wine colour and
does not show up against the bare soil around it.   Any suggestions as to
what I should plant behind it so that next year it will be more easily seen?

Here in Oregon we've had only a few frosts this "winter" and now appear to
be zooming into spring.  I already have early crocus IN BLOOM, as well as
witch hazel, sasanqua camellias, hellebore, winter jasmine and winter
honeysuckle.

Lots of the snouts of the other bulbs are revealing themselves and there are
growth buds on most of the shrubs, roses and vines, as well as basal growth
on most of the perennials.

Hope we don't get a late winter blast...
