Hellebore

Love it,
There are so many and hardly two alike most I have are self seeded and from time to time I lift there heads to look inside I recently found one that appeared to have a black centre,on close inspection it was a very dark maroon .

They are all beautiful and I agree with Brian that looking inside the flowers is well worth it. They are so varied and so intricate.

Great plummy colour.

This was on a market stall in Sunderland for about £4 if memory serves. I bought it last year but only planted it in the autumn. It was the white inside that I loved as a contrast to the plum outsides.

That's a nice one......
