And some specie hellebores. 1. Helleborus multifidus - this one is labelled simply a H. multifidus, so possibly H. multifidus subsp. multifidus; 2. Helleborus odorus; 3. Helleborus occidentalis; 4. Helleborus atropurpureus, a little eaten! 5. Helleborus multifidus subsp. bocconei, or Helleborus bocconei if you prefer!

Thanks Ralph and Chris I particularly like this one as it sits facing you and requires no lifting to see the flower. It also has the flower and petal shape that I like in hybrids

Visited the National Collection of Hellebores today at my old college, Hadlow. Disappointing. Lots of their own hybrids, but not many of real merit. One small bed of species, mostly diseased, broken/missing labels. Bit of a mess. Wouldn't inspire me to grow the genus if I was new to it.

Helleborus vesicarius is flowering outside at the moment. This plant was raised from seed which germinated in 2005. It was planted outside in autumn 2008 where it has flowered and set seed every year since.

Hi Tim

Very nice.

Mine sulks outside is there anything special about the conditions you selected ie soil, sun etc?

It does get a lot of sun. Not the previous owner of our house, but the one before that brought in several tonnes of soil in an attempt to build a rockery. The soil is full of stones, lumps of tarmac, etc. and whilst most other plants struggle or fail to grow in it, the vesicarius thrives.
