Great to see a low level photo of the Eranthis. Mine are very late this year with only a few up.

Yes, sorry, of course, a silly slip from me, I know it's from N CAntabricus MOnophyllus x ROmieuxii  I believe, thanks to Henry and Margaret Taylor for the cross and the name.

The Petrocosmea's been a treat this year, always flowers in the dead of winter, but never so well as this.  And I've done some leaf cuttings  s-l-o-w  to take but I think I have some rooted.

Here today floweing a couple of Hellebores the first is a self sown seedling of Black Prince (also in the gardenand a plant dating back at least 80 years) and a newer "black" strain from Ashwood a couple of years ago. Both are darker in reality. Also I Katherine Hodgkin - note the slug pellets spread after some pest had cut down 3 flowering stalks. And finally Leucojum vernum

Aye Luc that's right but with Hellebores there is a chance that with some you can tell the difference  ::)

Wonderful pics everyone.  Enjoying them immensely.  Sooooooo far from Eranthis here at the moment, so it is nice to be reminded of their little bundles of joy.  ;D

Ian, that Prince-seedling is a beauty. Would be nice to see a picture
of the real Prince. Until now I've only heard of "Ivory Prince". cannot imagine
such a seedling is coming out of that?

Luit in naming the plant I had a senior moment the parent is Black Knight Not Prince which you will find in the Hellebore history. When BLACK KNIGHT comes into flower I will post a picture. I think it my seedling may be a natural cross with a plant I acquired as a "seedling from Hamburg Black Grape" but I have never found a reference to such a plant. Nice plant though very floriferous and early.
