Helleborus 2014

[annew]

Yann, you must be a very strong person, to resist the temptation! I would have chosen the double yellow.

[Maggi Young]

Ian and I were very taken by the double yellow too -    20140202_142544.jpg  -   good colour and only semi double so it has  all it's sexual parts. 

20140202_145654.jpg  is another good one, though....


Mind you,  many of the "doubles" shown  still have their stamens and anthers so appeal more than the very filled types of some double flowers.

Even if I could have four I would be there for days making a choice!

[Maggi Young]

And what about   20140202_145704.jpg /  20140202_145707.jpg  - which seems to think it is a magnolia?

[Maggi Young]

From the picotees  my choice is  20140202_142629.jpg - that is a glorious flower!

You can try alpine-peters.de or peter-janke-gartenkonzepte.de. The latter has "inherited" the  hellebore collection from Gisela Schmiemann, some of the plants are offspring from Helen Ballards original plants.
I prefer Hans Kramers Hellebores (Netherlands), especially as he has totally refocussed his breeding program. More on his website hessenhof.nl.

Spell Check says there's no such word as "refocussed".
Well, now there is.
