Hmm, wonder what Beth Chatto's Dry Garden is like just now. Last time we went it threw it down the whole day. We almost asked for our money back.
Anne, that is SUCH a good joke, you know I will pinch it!

Did for us last time we went too. Spent more time in the tea room. Maggi would have enjoyed it, chocolate cake to die for.

We did the tea room twice just to warm up. That was our excuse anyway.

Just went through the pictures of everybody's hellebores - lovely to see so many of the more delicate-looking ones.  I've been wanting to try more hellebores.

Actually, I had a question.  I hope this is the right place to ask.  The pictures of H. odorus got me thinking whether the flowers really have a scent or not?  I seem to remember somebody telling me that H. liguricus is scented.  Does anybody know if any of them have scented flowers, and what they smell like?

Or maybe I should just stick to daphnes and sarcococcas for winter scent!

Fragrance can be subjective. And they certainly won't give off a heady scent like Daphne or Sarcococca!

Here's Helleborus multifidus subsp. bocconei.

A selection of Helleborus x hybridus flowering now - including a nice double red. Some came from Elizabeth  Strangman just before she closed her nursery (but not the double red).

And here is a lost label hellebore, probably a species. Can anyone ID? H. occidentalis?
