    I was neatly drawn in to the local nursery by an offer for five free pansies and ended up with a new hellebore, "ivory prince"... I almost brought my prince home last year but he was upstaged by a dogwood. This time he made it into my car using a 25% off coupon. I think I'll plant him near the King Alfred daffodils, a sort of 'royalty corner.'

    I have one other hellebore, one that puts out huge 'dinner plate' size light green blooms, this one is much smaller but has more color.

    Anyone else have any hellebores? I like them because they tolerate mediocre soil and part-shade, something I have a lot of.

    I have a few Primsong. They are mainly the 'run of the mill' pink ones but I do have a white one too. :D

    I've got some, and I'm going to get more! Dark red, lighter red, pink with and without spots, yellow and white low ones, and a tall green one, the Helleborus foetidus. It stinks!

    The white one, Helleborus niger, is the most common here.
