Helleborus..Cinnamon Snow

this is a real beauty

Its gorgeous, I was fed up so treated myself,lol...

well you did right by treating yourself

beautifull ;o)

You spendthrift you! Very nice...and where did you lift these from?? Like the colour and the open flower

hope ours do the same!!!

That is a lovely colour.

Thats a nice colour Lincs....

Very nice indeed, Lincs! I have a Hellebore Niger on my balcony, it grows every year but has only ever flowered just once! It's been in the same pot for about 5 years now, actually a deep tub shared with a rose & some white Gladioli & other spring bulbs. LOL!

thats lovely.

Using hellebores as cut flowers is one way of getting to see them. These ones are lovely.

Another way of getting the best view is to plant them on a bank -- although most of us don't have gardens with banks on which to plant them! The idea is that you can then look the flowers in the eye rather than looking down on them. When my ship comes home I plan to have a hellebore covered bank in my grounds!

that sounds a lovely idea kowhai.

Yes that sounds a great idea, this one is new this year, I now have three, its taken donkeys years to get them to grow here, one at bottom of the garden has been in at least five years and is flowering for the first time ever.......

I looked in the tub where mine had been growing for many years but there's nothing there any longer. :-(( It may have died off during the summer or autumn as it is difficult to see just what is growing in it during the growing season! I DO know it was there last spring - even though it didn't flower, I'd recognize the leaves a mile away!
