It’s that time of year, once again….
time for the Hellebores to show their stuff!

And, I mean that quite literally. My poor Hellebores were hidden under layers of huge, heavy leaves until I finally cleared them this morning. What a lovely sight to see the pale pink and white, fragile, gentle flowers emerge.

An antique silver cup seemed only fitting, don’t you agree?

My hellebore foetidus are thriving and look so cheerful mixed with grocery store tulips:

It seems I have a habit of posting about Hellebores every year!
Here is one of my favorite images from a year ago,  combining hellebores and lavender:
