Thank you Silver Surfer I know the differences. Sorry if it was confusing I knew I would make it so. I was trying to show a name use, using the label from our old H. niger as an example of how some breeders use their names for a group or strain. We do have a few of the very similar seedlings from the above kicking around the beds.
Not all Hellebores are just hybridus? Another example would be the torquatus hybrid, we have, the leaves are a little bit different though similar to the hybridus lenten type. The flowers a slightly different shape too.
Yes, it certainly is a very pretty flower Silver Surfer. The reason I would like to know the name is that my sister-in-law is called Ellen which was what I thought this flower was called although not 100% sure as I have lost the name tag. I thought someone on this forum may have bought Hellebores from this offer too.
When I first started this garden, I bought the Ellen range from Hayloft, cheap on offer, since then I’ve grown several, some come true, some don’t, I don’t mind, they’re all nice.

On my second contact with Hayloft I received this name from the Single Pink Spotted Ellen. - they had kept a record of my original order, which I should have done too. Thanks for all your input and helpful suggestions. I will try to divide the plant after flowering - it is by far the nicest flowering Hellebore that I have - most of the others I have are cream or whitish.
