Nice selection, David -  can't have too many - as I keep trying to convince Ian!  Only a few out here so far but they're all looking promising so far.

Correct! You can't have too many hellebores!

Nice ones David, especially the semi-doubles.

Thanks Maggi and Ralph, I hope next year to have flowers on a couple of seedlings Stella Tracey gave me from seed collected from her best very dark forms. Haven't managed to get to Rodney Davey's Nursery yet!

Stunning plants.
Is there a specialist which would like to have a look at some Helleborus grown from seeds (collected in the wild in Middle-Italy)
