Very good, Michael! I have 5 potfuls of Hellebores waiting for pricking out. Hope some turn out to be as beautiful as yours!

Have to add that yours isn't bad either, Saori. Very nice colour combination!

Roll on our hellebores! Not many are flowering like this yet. In Elizabeth Strangman's book on Hellebores there is a variety called 'Old Ugly' which is very like your photo. 4494. If that is 'Ugly' then I am all for it!

Michael, a  few more you say - you must have a field of hellebores?! All of them are really nice too!

I have 5 pots of seedlings waiting for better space - I am looking forward to the flowers in a couple of years!  Wink

Boy I'll say!  Shocked Shocked  The "flowers" last for months in our short springs here.  Just think how much longer there in Ireland!

Temps will be dipping below 0 F tonight.  It will be a long time for my show to begin; this is what mine look like:

Michael, your hellebores are glorious, particularly love the yellow ones. 

Amy & Rick, besides H. niger which does well here, the fancy hybrids just don't do that well in my garden, the foliage gets so battered that they look scrappy even when in bloom, necessitating cutting all foliage off.  My couple of typical purple-flowered hybrids look like yours, flat, lifeless, and frozen.
