Tibetan Hellebore?

Hello gardeners
I'm fairly new to proper gardening but very enthusiastic !

I've had this little beauty just appear in my garden in the last few weeks. I wonder whether it's been transported in poop via the many hedgehogs I have visiting.
I think it is Tibetan Hellebore but I'm not certain. I want to know, is it evergreen , perennial and can I move it ? Where it's made it's home is not ideal.
Many thanks in advance for any help and suggestions
Jeanette

Have you a photo showing more of the plant and without the hand? It's certainly a Hellebore but Helleborus thibetanus is uncommon in gardens and unlikely to just turn up. Helleborus x hybridus, Oriental hybrid, is far more likely

Agree with Dove.
Helleborus thibetanus is very very special/rare ..leaves different from Helleborus x hybridus.

Yes you can move it...take a huge root ball with soil when you dig it up.

It's difficult to get a good shot as it's tucked its self nearly on top of my peony . Bit worried if I move it after flowering it will damage the peony

Hellebores flowering already? Wow.

I have one (and its descendents) that flowers now, I bought the original in flower at this time of year. Plants do as they like. They flower again at the 'right' time

When do the books say it's supposed to flower then ?

Most hellebores, I would have thought something like Jan to May?
