Still reeling from that black Hellebore but somewhat composed enough the photograph Jelena which is giving a show in the snow.

More........

Last but not least is 'Anna's Red' bred by Rodney Davey, in fact all the hellebore pictures posted this morning are his hybrids bought from his nursery this weekend, which luckily for me is only 40mins away from my home  ;D

Well done Rodney.

Aren't they beautiful?

Very nice hellebores, and your Hamamelis 'Jelena' looks to have a much 'fuller' flower than mine, which has small, thin flowers - maybe mine is just a baby and needs time.

They certainly are, Mike.
'Anna's red' and the last white are super.  I  like that the flowers all seem to be good and wide. The dark, rather mysterious colours of the ones in your first post are pretty special - this Rodney Davey ( who I hadn't heard of before)   obviously knows what he's doing!!
