    Looks like Hellebore.
    Helleborus foetidus.
    A lovely plant.

    Ah thankyou. I thought it looked like a hellebore as i have some in our garden but leaves were different. Never heard of this variety, but the flowersare similar, downward looking. Thanks again

    Easy enough to tell, the leaves smell awful when crushed.

    They are very easy from fresh seed, but do take a couple of years to get to a nice size and flower.
    If you like it and are thinking of buying a plant there is a nice form called Wester Flisk with reddish stems.

    Another get around to it one for me.
