Hellebore

It is indeed pretty.

It's the same as I have Shirley it's name is Ellen Picotee for your files.

That IS a beauty!

Was it bought flowering size or did you have to wait ,whichever it is gorgeous

Yup...double Ellen picotee Shirley. There is a lot of variety within the selection. Mine isnt nearly as dark a pink edge, nor as thick an edge. Love yours as much as mine!

I thank you all for the comments made but am told by Hayloft Plants that the doubles I ordered included a single gold red star, and 2 x anemone centre pink and burgundy. No mention of double Ellen picotee.

I bow to your knowledge Karen and 3d!!

Brian, they arrived fairly small last Autumn so I potted them up, left them in the cold greenhouse until early December, then planted them all out in the garden. This one is the second to bloom, another is in bud and the remaining ones are just foliage at the moment.

Hmm...it must have jumped into the wrong pot! ;)

Strange ... but I'm happy with that idea!

Wow! I think that's one of the prettiest I've seen this year.

Thank you Lori, I do wish the blooms didn't hang down though!

Delightful, we bought from Hayloft too, and have been really pleased with these doubles.....

Two more satisfied customers for Hayloft then!

Certainly......have ordered some Penstemon as well! just waiting for them to arrive!

Exciting time of the year!
