Michael, I love your pink anemone (semi-double) flower!

I usually cut off old leaves (from hybrids) in December-January... We have a lot of winter rain, so doing this helps prevent fungus and it looks cleaner. I clean my pruner after each plant to prevent potentially spreading diseases or viruses to other plants.

Mine are just starting to bloom, but most are still in bud...

I cut off all the old leaves about the end of November and dispose of every scrap of it to avoid spreading any disease.

Nice, dark colour of some of those, Saori!

This is my darkest one (I have no doubles) - not this spring  Wink :



I never defoliate any of mine except when the leaves are dead. No problem with fungus so far Lips Sealed

Same here....I have heard that if the leaves are still green they can still photosynthesise, so I leave them on till the last minute in spring.
Matt Mattus talks about that here in his fantastic blog.... http://www.growingwithplants.com/2011/04/spring-hellebores.html

Nice dark one, Trond! Is it still cold there? I found some of my dark doubles flowering today; if you are interested, I would be happy to send some seeds to you.  Wink

Yes please, I am very interested in seeds of dark (actually any) double hellebore Grin

It is not very cold but it is not very warm either! It rained yesterday and the snow and ice started melting. Today seems to be rather mild (+5C) compared to the previous weeks. Can't see my plants yet as they are still covered by snow.

Trond, I will let you know when the seeds are ready. It will be probably late June to early July.

Hope your plants are protected under the snow! We've had a mild winter so far and lots of plants have started to grow. I'm a bit concerned about a potential coming cold snap which might kill the new shoots...

"foliarly"... try saying that fast three times. Cheesy
(I already did, and was not successful.)

Always a good show, Michael!   Shocked

The botanist in me marvels at the variability of the stamens and structures that are the modified petals (sometimes given another name, depending on who you talk too).

I am particularly pleased with that Niger,I have difficulty keeping that one in good condition. I don't think it likes our climate.
