Wim, you have a wonderful collection ...
Or were you at Delobroye also like Yann?
I was not or current of the opening. It's a shame, the next time we can get all appointments and make a little restaurant afterwards. This was an opportunity to get to know each other better. I own a few plants from Delabroye, bought on plant fairs in Belgium. I love this gentleman. He always has an anecdote to tell about the plants he proposes ... their origins, creation, harvest, discovery, needs, ...

I visited Delabroye...I don't own these...I wish though :'( I was there at the first day of opening, Yann on the second day. Let's try to meet up the next time he has an open day, that would be great!

Some of my Hellebores- I did try to make a collage of the individual shots but failed!

Hellebores are all flowering well now. Here is Helleborus thibetanus; apologies for the poor picture, trying to get to grips with a new camera.

Lovely hellebores, David.

Trying this again with my old camera.

Quite a range of hellebores, David, and they're all beauties. Thanks for showing. I still have a wait for mine but spring will come eventually. Fortunately, the deer usually leave them alone.

This has opened up among a group of bog standard single flowered plants.

I hate to do this when they still look fine but it's better than having to weed out hundreds of seedlings.
