Looking back I see that Margaret said on Feb 11th that here 'Pink Ice' had just arrived and was in flower. happily I had the snowdrops to distract me, but it is now in flower as of Feb 28th...phew.

Yes it is at the moment, I was waiting to see if it was ok, not that I don't trust Ashwood's but Margaret said it didn't look like hers so I was waiting to see.

Although I have quite a few Hellebores in my back garden I only have two plants in the front and those are about a meter apart (Parent 1 and Parent 2) so perhaps a good chance that this seedling (Baby) is theirs.

You might surmise that Kermit would be green with envy at their colour?

Melvyn - Palpitations here over that colour!  I used to hate lavender rhodos until one year a lady who studied with Constance Spry did some arranging with them and combined them with green hydrangeas, viburnums and lime hosta leaves at our Spring show. Magic.

Of course these cyclos are sensational in their own right.

Wild-collected seed from Marcus Harvey a year or two ago (also listed here) germinated well so I look forward to flowers.
