    Your hellebores put my few plants to shame Eric. What a lovely variety you have. :-D Coud I ask you what the name of the very dark red one is please? I'd love to add it to my meagre collection. Many thanks.

    Many thanks Eric. I will keep an eye out for it. I really like the double hellebore you have - very unusual. I do love to see these flowers blooming in the garden so might just go and get a few more varieties for myself. :-D

    Beautiful hellebores, one of my favorite plants. I particularly like the double pink. Very nice collection. I plan to add more to mine. Our nurseries don't carry a big variety. Will have to check on-line nurseries. Thanks for sharing. :stew1:

    Those are gorgeous! Every year I say I want to add Hellebore's to my garden. THIS will be the year! I really like the dark ones but the one in the last photo really catches my eye.

    What a lovely sight your hellebores are! :D I'm so looking forward to ours, since I think they're the showiest of all spring bloomers. You've got some lovely varieties there. I'm hoping that the double mix we bought last year might decide to show colour this spring.

    Glad you enjoyed them. I have spent part of the afternoon, dodging showers, cleaning up the dozens of seedling ones in the Frames. Most of them came from the best plants in the garden so hopefully they may be good forms. I must throw away 1,000's of Hellebores every year.
    I like the fact that the flowers remain interesting for such a long time.
