I was just thinking about this thread! Mine are all budding.
@pitter-patter thats gorgeous!! I want that one now, very unusual! I brought Liah and Rosalie in full bloom a few weeks ago in a sale, will take pics, very pretty.
This is 'Christmas Carol' just starting to do what it says on the tin. It's been baked, battered, deluged & frozen, and it still manages to come through
Clay soil - Cheshire/Derbyshire border. I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful
My Anna’s Red bloomed yesterday but we were away all day so I just popped out to take a photo now. What a joy at this time of year to see buds and flowers opening 😄 I bought a few Hellebores last year from the garden centre when they were in flower so this is my first year of seeing them survive the winter and bloom.
Ive got lots coming up and picked up some stunning new ones in the post xmas sales. Heres my currently open ones; MARLON; ROSALI; LIARA Decaya pink, just bursting out. Prolific! Unnamed hybrid im rather fond of;
@JessicaS Thankyou I have been looking for this thread without success. I remembered a lovely dark hellebore from the 'Lady Series' posted by @Fairygirl and I have now found a photo of it at the beginning of the thread. Think the first two of your photos are from the Rodney Davey group with the marbled leaves? I have Glenda's Gloss which is also doing well.
My favourites remain the ones with rounder petals like in your last photo but I do have a mix of both. I hope to by more, the next few weeks are the best time whilst they are in flower. However I hope to move at some point and I really should be looking after the plants I already have!
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
I couldnt find it searching either @GardenerSuze - very odd! I love the rodney davey marbled ones, the ones I have arent out yet though (annas red, glendas gloss), the ones in my pics above are Ice n roses snow roses from Helleborus Gold Collection, I think different? I just couldnt resist, early flowering too! I do love that rounded one at the bottom, love the flash of burgundy in the centre and the delicate petal outline. Random Orientalis hybrid for about £5 for a big pot from local nursery!
@JessicaS That is interesting I can see now that the leaves are a plain green rather than marbled. Ice n roses are earlier into flower well worth considering, good to see your photos, I have heard of them but never seen them in the GC's. @Fairygirl Grows Blue Lady very dark in colour a great contrast to the whites. Ashwood nurseries have sold out of the yellows which I think is normal!
