Mr G

I am still in the middle of cleaning them up so the flowers are more visible and I avoid the Black Death of Hellebores. This only applies to Helleborus orientalis hybrids, the other types should only have dead or dying leaves removed.
So far I have moved about 15 barrow loads of leaves and done about 2/3 of them. If it ever stops raining........
I added pictures here, but one was wrong and it would not let me edit so no pictures.

 

Lovely hellebores Mr G mine aren't as far as as yours either except this one which is just starting to open.
Hellebore 'Silver Dollar'

 

Wow, that's a bit special Simbad,

 

Leaving the leaf's on is just a nice in this case i think.

Here are some from our garden.

 

Great Palustris, what an incredible variety there. Are they all named specimens or are some "sports" ?
