I liked the first one best   :D
The same place has some great "apricot" shades too. #sigh#  I have a real weak spot for hellebores but the Boss has made me promise not to get any more - something about no space......  :-X :'(

That is precisely the situation, Matt! There is always room for more Erys, I've noticed.
It's a wonder I've managed to sneak in the number of hellebores   I have - that and the paeonies!  ::) :-X

Very sorry to hear about this Maggi. It is certainly to our benefit  :-\
My favourite is also the first one, but who know what comes out by seed...

Well, since the Erys are going dormant at some point and the garden has to look good year long, what else could you do? ;)

I agree- who knows what one might get from seed -  waiting for seedling to flower is like waiting to  open presents!

 I'll be telling the Bulb Despot about your understanding of my  scheme!

About presents, keep in mind that once in a while you get exactly what you wished for!
