Hellebore - Siris Seed 2

Aw, that's special. They are both lovely Dawn! :)

Hellebores can be rather promiscuous so I remove the plants that I don't want setting seed if I've better coloured ones.
Ps, you've a better chance of getting doubles by hand pollinating 2 Double parents.

Thanks Karen.
Siris, I like the idea of not knowing what you’re going to get, bespoke :) I like the singles probably more than the doubles.

Wonderful colours in this one .

Quite a lot of mine are sterile, but I shall leave some seed heads on the ones that aren’t this year. I’ll let them seed themselves and transplant the seedlings. It will be really exciting to see what I get. I can grow them on in the wild area behind the greenhouse which is going to be planted with herbs soon.

Thanks 3d.
Karen, I’ve noticed babies around my H Tutu but I’ve ever collected. My plan was to grow lots from seed for the woodland.

Dawn, my Mum sent me one of her Tut seedlings. It came true.

What a beauty, Dawn. You’ve captured it really well, the lighting is just lovely.

Another lovely one.

Karen, thanks I’ll plant some little ones up
Thanks Kate, Wildrose

So unusual.......have always removed the seed heads as I wanted to keep them pure......and I would be sure to dig the seedings up, knowing me! I tend to be a tad over enthusiastic when I am weeding!

Another very pretty one ..

Yes!
