Stunning detail, Tish.
Thanks, Jennie.
You’re welcome, Tish.
OMG, what a photo!
Grazie, Anna
Beautiful flower. I have never grown them but really must give it a go. Any thing that grown in winter is a yea.
As a species they seem pretty tough – and there’s a HUGE variety, which can of course lead to hellebore lust.
I too have the white one, but popping out to look at the weekend revealed it is still in bud form. Well, at least I hope they are flower buds emerging.
I’m sure they are buds. They’re pretty tough. I think mine was already flowering under the snow in December. I’m sure it had its reasons 🙂
Hellebore? (O shades of Elseneur)
Exquisite, Tish – what a way to greet spring! My poor hellebore had its leaves frozen in the really cold weather we had this past month. I am hoping it will recuperate….
I’ll take one, too, please. 🙂

Herald of Spring? YES!
Lovely.
Thank you, Ruth.
A lovely winter dancer!
She is, isn’t she.
Stunningly beautiful. Love how you captured the details. 🙂
Thank you, Amy.
