Helleborus

thats really pretty, i think thats quite a special one.

that was quick Sticki, thanks :-))

:-)
there are lots of buds on mine, but i dont think i have this one.

when it's finished flowering i'll send you a bit if you would like it, by the way the bunny tail grass seed i'm sending Monday/Tuesday for you :-))

oh lovely, thank you surreylad. hellebores seem to do quite well here and they are interesting cos they dont always come up the same?

very pretty indeed!!! I love these also

Thanks Paul, me too :-)

Yes that's true Sticki, ok be about April time :-)

yes that would be lovely, thank you.

your welcome Sticki..

you are very kind.

I love these too S.Lad. I have quite a few, but not this one. I think this is one of the newer 'picotee' types...is that right? It's extremely pretty! I am far too impatient to grow these from seed, but some of the ones that seed themselves are allowed to stay! I put two packs of seed in a tray last spring and by autumn they had gone the way of the compost bin...no germination. Lovely plants, I love them!

Love those pretty curls in the centre.

Thanks Karen, yes it is the picotee type but a crossed hybrid i got it and then crossed it with an orientalis type and this came out.. lol seed you do need a bit of patience with :-)) they can take up to 2 years to germinate dependant on time of year and type..

Thanks Sixpence :-)

so is this one a Surreylad hybrid hellebore?

lol yes Sticki..

:o))

wow! thats very special.

thanks :-)

This is stunning Surrylad , I love Hellebores they look so exotic and so very welcome at this time of the year :o)

thanks Amy :-)
