Happy Hellebores :o)

Pretty in pink.

Thanks Siris ...
They have lovely markings and super colours.

Beautiful little works of art.

Hi Thorneyside .. That's a lovely description !

I like the way these show their faces. All mine droop face down. Very pretty.

Hello Gee... thanks, yes... some of the faces droop over, but others tilt up to show off their pretty patterns.

Just beautiful Terra.

Very nice, TT! :-))

So pretty.
I like to see their faces too, feel like putting little props under the droopy ones.

Such a lovely colour Terra, some of mine end up with a greenish tinge.....not "good look!"

Thanks everyone ...
In the chilly months, these hellebores are real delight to see. :o)

Loved this on your blog too - very desirable!

Thanks Stera ... this is a different photo, very different angle, but same lovely hellebore !

A friend has giving me one and he said to plant it in a shady part of the garden which I have done. It is just starting to flower, it looks like a whitish green colour. If it takes I will upload a photo. I will be pleased
if it looks half as nice as yours Terratoonie .

Thanks Johnjoe ... I hope your hellebore grows well. Mine are in quite shady areas. The petal colours change a bit as the flowers open.

Oh TT, this quite took my breath away, it's stunning!

Simply beautiful TT such a pretty variety :o)

Thanks Julia and Neena. It is now producing even more flowers! :o)

Helebores are a lovely flower to light up the garden in wintertime TT. Your plant is so pretty with an upright habit too. Mine are in bloom now. I don't understand how there are white ones. Maybe self seeders do not come true?

Absolutely beautiful Terra ! I really should put these on my shopping list ! xx

Thanks Dorjac and Rose ...
Some of the flower heads are upright and some lean over a little, but they are very attractive. x x x

Very Pretty and rigid Plant, Terra :-))) xxx

Hi Junna .. thanks...
I'm very pleased with this Hellebore.
:o) x x x

They're lovely and they don't hang their heads either.

very nice!

Thanks Arbuthnot and Naoto ...
some of the hellebore flower heads look forward, and some hang down, but they are very worthwhile winter plants.

fab colour , much prefer a strong colour to washed out looks great, best pink I have seen on here

Hi Gnarly .. thanks ..
these have pretty colour petals ...

Such pretty ones, and so many of them too.

Thanks Chris ... even more buds now !

Very attractive TT, especially with the burgundy freckles...;o) Why is it that mine are bowing? I love being able to see the pretty faces... :o)

Thanks Tracey ..
some of my hellebores bow their heads
especially if they've been weighed down by wet weather.

Mine don't even look as if they are going to flower. Wonder why.

Are the leaves looking healthy Arbuthnot ?
Did they have sufficient drainage over the winter ...
not sat in very damp soil ?

Well, the soil is heavy clay and though we've added rotted manure a couple of times in the 2 years we've been here perhaps it's not enough. The leaves looked spotted and ragged too.

It's a good idea to take off quite of lot of the leaves and make sure drainage is good. Let's hope they flower for you next year. My hellebores in pots do better than those in the ground .. more flowers ..

Thanks Terra. We did bring these with us and I don't think they liked a move as there are very few leaves too. We have had a lot of rain though so if we have some dry weather they might recover. If not I'll replace them.

Sometimes it is just a case of finding the place in a garden which a plant prefers ... better drainage, and part shade perhaps.

Delightful.........

Thank you Dotty ...

So lovely..I need to get some photos of mine that are just beginning to bloom.
