I loved how the speckled pink flowers of this hellebore looked like tumbling stars. By selecting the tumbling angle, and going in close, the image gives an impression of a thicker clump than it really was. In future years, it should be even more glorious.
While hellebores don’t need winter protection in Northern England, humans do. I’m adding a picture of me photographing this patch of hellebores taken by my sweetheart so that you can get a better impression of the plants (and the added benefit of being able to recognise me if you happen to see us in a garden. I’ll look much the same the rest of the year, just less snuggly.)
You want to see the flower I was paying such close attention to?
Just as starry, in its own way.
I’m sharing these for Cee’s Flower of the Day.

Beautiful photos for today 😀
Thanks for hosting!
They are such a lovely thing! I was saying to Jude that the white ones have appeared in our nearby garden centre but I don’t have much faith in their ability to thrive.
They might be worth a try. Look in your neighbours’ gardens and see if you can see any.
None 🥲
Beautiful! Have not seen that variety before. Very pretty.
They are such varied plants.
I wish I could get down to ours 🙂
I wish you could too.
Fabulous hellebores
Such pretty hellebores! They are a wonderful plant to have in the garden – and so many beautiful varieties!
