I must be one of the only people on here that really doesn't seem to like Hellebores. I dont know what it is, they just seem to look like dirty weeds to me. Is there something wrong with me?
Lovely and sunny here. I looked at a site for hellebores a couple of pages ago and couldn't believe the prices! In local GC (Dordogne) they are about £9 - 10 each and not very good specimens.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Discodave, I think that if hellebores were in vibrant, bright colours they would look too garish at this time of the year when the light is so subdued.
Some of the photos above are truely stunning. I only have the white version of them, but I might have to consider the more unusual ones.

Lovely hellebores, I really must get some. You have inspired me to go the GC and get some. I particularly like the purple one.

Thanks for the flower Bev, I will accept it as my birthday bouquet.
I mean, yes, they are structurally lovely. I think its the muted colours that I find lacking.
Maybe I should try growing some and see if I fall in love with them.
They are gorgeous, Dave, love that dark pink and white, double, speckly one.
