As always lost the label. It reminded me of an Orange blossom flower. Love it, it is so pretty :O)

Hmm..I cant remember sending you this, but it looks like a corsican. Does it have very leathery glaucous foliage and did it flower before the lenten roses? If so, then thats what it will be. Helleborus argutifolius.

It was in a parcel with C.Honey Angels and some grasses and pinks a couple of years ago. All the hellebores seem to have been flowering at the same time here. It has quite a spikey (sorry) edge to the leaf.

Nothing wrong with your memory!

lol have never been able to remember plant names, it is strange, can recall their common names but never the latin. maybe something to do with not being interested in latin and because I am too lazy to try to remember them. ah well I got there in the end, thanks for the memory jogging. lol.

It doesnt matter a jot if you cant remember Latin. I've always been fascinated by languages...I'm sure thats why they stick in my head. I love the sound of the words. I've never had to make much effort to learn them, so its no credit to me at all. But being able to remember what was together in parcels from months ago....I wish I could do that! Lol! My memory of events is absolutely awful..always has been. I remember words, tunes and faces! At least I can remember something though! :))

I'm just like you Barbara, Latin names,no chance in most cases but everyday names, that's a whole different this game. Funny aren't we?

lol :O) I only speak English lol and not very well either lol :O) especially coming from Yorkshire originally. When we were at college in Barnsley they spent hours trying to get us to pronounce our letters differently to how we had been used to speaking. lol do not think they had much success lol :O)
