    Hi all. Just a quicky this posted here since it concerns wildlife / plants. A few pics of some lovely wild native Hellebores (H. foetidus) growing in the woods next door. Pics taken this morning and they are flowering well - thought you would like to see them. Syd.

    Wild hellebores are lovely aren't they? We have them in the woods around here too and I love to see them every year. As soon as they flower I know spring isn't far behind.

    I'm jealous:D I'd love to go for a walk and stumble across a patch like that! Reminds me, I should look in the back yard and see if mine survived the winter......

    They are beautiful! Woodland plants have always been my favorites. I've never seen them here in the states, does anyone know if we have them here?
