Christmas rose

Lovely S/L

Nice to see those spikes appearing. :o)

Thanks Yorkshire :-)

Thanks Terra, yes it's a nice bit of colour this time of year, helps bridge the gap from autumn to spring :-)

they look pretty, i have a bud on my yellow hellebore but only one!

So lovely to see them budding already! :) I don't know what I'd do without my Hellebores. They go from Jan/Feb all the way to end May....fantastic plants!

Great its appearing now lucky you , shall have to go check mine.

Thanks Sticki, it is still a little early so you may get more later. :-)

I know what you mean Karen it's a bleak time without them, i love how they are such a dependable plant.

Thanks 6d, hope yours are doing well too. :-)

they're pretty - I need some flowers to add now - tried pansies but the usual flop

i hope so!

Yes Paul, the pansies all droop in frost don't they....but these can stand up to a cold snap.

Sticki, I really love the yellow ones. I have one here, but no flowers on it at all last year, I was gutted!

i think i might have only had one flower last year! i got it from anglesey abbey

Gosh that does seem early Meanie some lovely buds there ... !!

Lovely buds S/L. Looks very promising

yes Karen - and mine get eaten too (pansies I mean)

cheers everyone :-)

Is it official name of this flower, Surreylad? What is it?

that's the common name here for it Kat, Christmas Rose but it's proper name is Helleborus Orientalis.
