Helleborus foetidus

???????????? Yes i see what u mean Spritz? Maybe Andrewr will Know More about this Plant? :)

Sometimes the soil conditions change the colouring Spritz , depending on what you grew there previously ,It may revert back to normal another year when whatever it was has been used up .
I am going outside to look at mine ........

Good theory, Amy, but not the answer, as these have been in the same place as long as we;ve been here! The soil is exactly the same - not even fed in that area, or mulched either.

That is a mystery then Spritz , makes it more interesting though dosn,t it ...... !
