    They just keep seem to be getting bigger and better as the season progresses. Maybe it is just my imagination and love of them. I couldn't help posting more photos.

    OMG! I somehow missed these before. I can't believe I've gardened this long & never got Hellebores.They are definitely on my list now.
    All these are absolutely beautiful & come at a time when so few flowers are blooming.I'm going to dig out some of these gigantic hostas on the north side of the house & make a Hellebore bed.

    Thanks Cherylad, they continue to amaze me this year. Especially as all the other perennials begin to bloom. It is a really nice cottage garden this spring.

    SNS, it is too bad we aren't living next door. I am adding hostas to my garden. I started last summer. I have lots of hellebore starts I could share. ;) I think the mix will be good

    Philip, I am sure you will love your hellebores. Your so lucky to have people around who garden :-D nothing is more fun than sharing :D
