Thanks Joyce, chionadoxa's also known as 'glory of the snow' apparently - I think I got a pack from Sainsbury's... gardener's amnesia!
Cheers guys, the hellebore did have some friends when I planted it last year, but they got eaten - this one did too, but was obviously better-established than t'others! It's been flowering for ages, one of my favourites.
They are all gorgeous flowers Sparkles, but the hellebore is the one for me - I have ordered a few varieties from Hayloft/barn, but I don't think this one is included. Like Aquilegia their pretty flowering heads bend down - so difficult to photograph. A few of my pictures taken today - the purple tulip but I don't know the name, the Bay tree in full flower and some polyanthus now into their second flowering.season.Lastly my daughters back door step plants, which I take care of.

Narcissi 'Tête-à-Tête',
Saxifrage, which I love and which grows really well here, despite getting dug up by various wildlife.
No idea what the pink and blue ones are!
Next door's gorgeous camellia
The only hellebore to survive last year's slugpocalypse, quite tricky to photograph!
Very nice hellebore and love the camellia
sparkles.... the pink and blue flowers are chionadoxa.
That's a stunning hellebore.
