Back from lovely lunch with 2 sons and DILs and adorable granddaughter (2), who seemed very pleased to see her Granny. Each DIY is expecting, May and July. We went to a little Chinese place.
Really pretty hellebore, I want one. On way home stopped at supermarket for bread, found they had pots of Marmite, hurray I was nearly out, and they were setting up their gardening sale. I bought a large cottage garden pink. Something I don't have. Only 4€ (£3.30) and should be able to take cuttings.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
It's just called a Credale (or similar) double. They had lots of different ones. I think it must be a nursery that propagates there own and some come out really good. Think this one was spectacular and was looking for a double. May have escaped the folk who look for winning ones.
Bought it from a local nursery.
I have 3 now (different sorts)waiting till I can plant them. This one though I am considering putting in a pot then can bring it onto the patio just when winter needs a cheer up
I have hellebore envy too Matty - that one is a stunner
Planted my primroses, violas, Mrs Betty and some daffs for indoors. a couple of my outdoor daffs are showing their first yellow, and just been for a good long tramp to help littlest chicklet break in some new walking boots (DofE looms). Think i might have to have a snooze .
Evening all busy day in the garden ... Put my 24 GW strawberries into the strawberry barrel, transplanted aqueligas, potted bare root astrantia, potted new gosseberry, planted new chilli seeds a friend sent me ( satans kiss) and some more cherry bombs and some pepper and tomato seeds oh and tomatillo seeds. Then enjoyed my garden........

Whoops just realised there is a hellebore thread.
Off for a bath now - hard day in garden
Credale nursery is near to Hereford. It looks like a good source for anyone in the area.

That snail would scare of anything.
The ones I have here are that size Stacey...
Love that really black one. I'm sure you don't really need it though, do you? I can give it a home....
chicky- sorry to be thick - what does D of E mean?
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
