Couldnt resist this one and it took me ages to choose, i really love the double ones but they are very expensive. As these have been grown at the GC under cover I am keeping this one in my porch for now, I will plant it up come Spring!

Hi there its called 'Haryington pink speckled' bred by Harvington.!

Beautiful GM!
I've seen so many on here that I've decided I want some. Do you know the 'common' name?
11 Feb, 2012
THanks Lil, Sometimes they are called Christmas rose, not sure what others might call them!! Scroll to bottom of page and click on H. then click on Hellebore and see some of the photos there! Woweeeeee....

Lovely colour!

Thats lovely GM....Fab colour.. Also Known as the Lenten Rose Ms Crawford. I didn't want to type Lenten rose Lily..sounds confusing.

Yes, Helleborus Niger is the Christmas Rose and Helleborus Hybridus and Orientalis are Lenten Roses. Then there's the Stinking Hellebore...H. Foetidus, which is beautiful and taller with flowers over the winter - green flowers, sometimes edged maroon, and the Corsican Hellebore, H. Argutifolius which has very hard grey/green leaves and paler green/yellowish green flowers very early. That's all the ones I know of...bet there are more!

I agree Sheila they are worth their weight! Lil if you lived closer we could all help!

Lil look at member Naoto and check the video link. The Video sold me on these flowers.

IF Gill, IF......the dreaded IF word!
I'll just have to check in a few weeks at my GC bc I don't recall ever having seen these here.

Thank you Pp. I think its because they are the 1st. flower of the new season that we all like them, they are so beautiful. Thank you Junna, they are very special, glad you like them.

18 Feb, 2012
They are early Lindak, think thats why we all like them so much.

I'll have to try to find a corner in my very small garden for one.
19 Feb, 2012
Ooooohh yes you will, Lin. or maybe two or three ! Lol

:0) Just bought an agapanthus and a Nerine and put into pots. Tried growing them in the garden without success.
19 Feb, 2012
I always find Ag. like to be in pots anyway and I suppose Nerine do too, lovely, i like pots never can have too many!
