Unfortunately most of those lovelies are growing in the web site owner's friend's garden, but given time they will be available through nurseries. The English have lots of hellebore enthusiasts growing lots of magnificent hellebores, and I also pin my hopes on them to spread their plants quickly.
I know that some are later bloomers, late spring/early summer, but I don't know which ones.  I do know that my dark red one will start in January if there is no snow, and the rest will start in March/April, once the snow and frost is gone.

Next time I talk to the English folks I will try to steer some to Norway...
They are adorable...This is the same as Lenten Rose isnt it ?
That was the name I was hunting>>>.
I am going to keep track of the Helleborous in our country.. Will let you in on any thing I learn.

Yes, Lenten rose is the common name for them. I can recommend a book called "The Gardener's Guide to growing Helleborus". Lovely photos and lots of relevant information. Actually, I can recommend most of "The Gardener's Guide to growing...". I've got most of them, and they're all good.
