@pitter-patter I'm not usually fond of Hellebores with double flowers but I really like the ones in your pic #2.
Pics of the day...
Helleborus x Frostkiss Glenda’s Gloss
Camellia Japonica x williamsii 'Buttons & Bows' showing off!
One of the characteristics of this Camellia is that the flowers die gracefully. Rather than staying on the bush when they fade to an ugly brown, they fall and make a nice carpet.
More close-ups of those Camellia flowers on this thread.
