    [​IMG] The Christmas Hellebore, Winter Gold. The only hellebore we propagated when I used to work at the nursery (many moons ago)
    I absolutely love these flowers, especially some of the more modern hybrids, but there is this old favourite, low growing variety that is so often overlooked. This blooms its heart out during those cold and often inhospitable months, and bravely looks up for the light. I used to tell my little granddaughter stories about the sad Hellebore who wouldn't look up at the sunshine, because an evil plant told her she was ugly. :notworthy:
    The good news is that I believe the breeders in the world of Hellebores are coming up with a few upward looking varieties. That may well be worth a look! :)
