Helleborus orientalis spotted hybrid

lovely Shirley

Hi Paul, belated happy new year to you! I spotted this one in bloom today ... shame it's facing the wrong way for me to see it from the window!

It's a real little beauty

Hello Yorkshire, I hope you and Ralph are both well and wish you a happy new year too! ... It's been really dismal down here for so long ... thank goodness for a couple of mild and dry days recently ... makes me feel better if I can spot little treasures like this Hellebore ... :o)

hello Shirley, just sent you a Pm

Lovely Shirley! I don't know why, but I'm never very lucky with these. They either just disappear or get eaten badly!

Happy 2013 Shirley :-))

Read it and about to reply, Yorks ... :o)

Rose, I planted some of these Hellebores in 2011, in an area shaded by trees andonly receiving early morning sun ... they seem to like those conditions!

Thanks Paul, enjoy your evening ... :o)

Love it Shirley!

A real beauty and a lovely colour !

I love hellebores they are so pretty and such lovely colours, waiting patiently for mine to come out, the buds are there just not open yet.

Thats a nice one shirley...

Thanks all ... I seem to recall somebody planting hanging baskets up with Hellebores ... a novel way to see the flowers!

Lovely one Shirley....

Lovely picture, Im afraid mine are looking very tatty at the moment!

Picture perfect :o)

Thanks all ... it is a totally grey and drizzly day down here ... one of those really dreary days where nothing is moving as no wind blowing ... at least the birds on the feeders are entertaining! Long-tailed Tits, Robins and Blackbirds all fighting for the same food ... :o)

Thanks for that , Shirley, I will have to try again!

You're welcome Rose ... sometimes a change of situation/location does the trick!

Beautiful photo, Shirley. How are you doing? Hope you are at home with the family.
On this pic there are all colour shades I like so much! Do you know the name of this one?
I have got from Brian several sorts of very nice Helleborus in seeds, he was so kind, so I am now so impatient waiting to see them growing from the frosty and snowy soil :)) These are first H. in my garden.

Katarina ... the label says Hellebore orientalis spotted hybrid ... that's all! That's kind of Brian to send you H. seed ... PM on the way to you .......

OK. Thank you :)
