Hellebore ~~ Double Queen ~~

mine are hanging their heads, they dont like the cold.

Really pretty Amy.

Thank you girls , I managed to prop it's head up with the help of the leaves Sticki !!

well you did a very good job!!!

mine is almost doubled over, its a new one and not happy!!

Yours will have a stronger stem next year Sticki :o))

is that what happens? thats good news, thank you.

Then I can plant mine right in the garden when it gets here???

the garden centres have some in covered [unheated] areas but there are plenty outside too ~ its around minus 2 or 3 C here at night at the moment.

Beautiful.

Oooh that's pretty

I want it, where is it you live Amy? I may come hellebore napping, lol.

That's lovely and nice to see its freckles so clearly.

Thank you everyone I'm glad you like it , I'm sure the stems are stronger after the first year Sticki , It's been freezing here all day ...
