It is H. argutifolius, but I don't think any of those tiny seedlings belong to it-just weeds I'm afraid. I'll keep an eye on the area though just in case.
I wondered how you were getting on with your hellibore. To my amazement, mine is getting taller every day. The flowers and buds are very healthy (better than I have ever seen). I did add chicken manure and gravel after the big cut back. It is nothing like it was, but as I looked at it today, I felt it was happy in itself and smiling at me.
NOT DEAD!!!!!!! Well I've learnt that never again will I cut it so hard. Coming through now, but I've missed it's beauty hiding a drab dark corner all winter.
So pleased that you can't be charged with murder. Next year they will be wonderful. Bragging here, but that cut back did mine the world of good. They have been the best I have ever seen.
I would be almost sure they are the seedlings from it, don’t be in a rush to dig them out, let them grow into good size little plants before transplanting them.

Maybe take some comfort knowing they're short-lived perennials anyway ; check around for self-set seedlings .
They'll soon be a credit to the parent plant .

Nothing, no sign of life
Aww, so sorry sandy, but there might still be hope. It's only in the last week or so that mine has taken off.
