Helleborus x glandorfii has been in flower for some time, despite the weather and the slugs!

Helleborus niger 'Potter's Wheel', a little muddy

Helleborus 'Walberton's Rosemary' has plenty of flowers to come.

Helleborus argutifolius 'Silver Lace' is quite architectural.

Helleborus abschaticus is another early flowerer.

Some say Helleborus abschaticus is a synonym of Helleborus orientalis Lam. subsp. abchasicus (A. Braun) B. Mathew

This is Helleborus orientalis ssp. caucasicus from Pizunda/Georgia - always a little bit too early and in most years the
emerging shoots were destroyed by frosts before the flowers open.
2013/14 is different but it might be that the expected drop in temperature will act as fatal as formerly.
