Helleborus 2020
« on: February 03, 2020, 06:33:46 AM »
As I live in the South, my hellebore season starts early. Here, I will share with you some of my joy and hope you post yours as well.

I think this one is very similar to Ceres

657544-1

The following is one of my strong favorites
657546-2

Tutu 657548-3

And Stained Glass, another strong favorite
657550-4

Leena: I really love that one, Lily and Stained Glass. They are my tops. Do you grow them? Very easy!

Double reverse picotees among my favorite doubles. Are the names your own or from a nursery?

Wonderful hellebores WSGR!
I am partial to anemone center ones, but I also like the third one.

Wouldn't be possible please to start a thread as usual - Helleborus 2020 in the other section? This one is used mostly for seeds & germination and makes it easy for anyone when searching for something if things are kept a bit organized.

Sorry! I thought this was somewhere different from the seed germination thread.

As you can see, I have been struggling with the upload facility on this forum. Well, can't blame others except I am like a bull in a china shop, not knowing what to do. Sorry for that!

657620-0

Above: a Smokey Blues - first flower!

657622-1
A Tutu with exaggerated nectary!

657624-2
A new flower with lovely paler edge all around the petals! Most wonderful and the nectary is uniqe!

657626-3
Don't know where I bought this. Could be from Wales - he did have a lot of goodies, but the postage is blood letting!

657628-4
I love this more as it has a maroon nectary and all the veins are quite symmetrical. Share yours!

I think I might have passed the uploading test this time! Or not? LOL!

I love hellebores, but I have grown all mine from seeds and they don't have names (except some may have seed strain names).
Still, they are very nice, and I'm looking forward to Helleborus season in a couple of months time here. :)

Leena: I have long given up naming them. They have the tiniest bit of difference. I have 2 flower, both pinky white or cream and one has a pointed petals which are close together like a star shape. The other one has rounded petals. Naming them is an impossible task.

I love  hellebores - but  the  Bulb Despot ( AKA Mr Young) has  forbidden  me to get  any  new  ones - he  mutters something  about  one  hellebore  taking up the  space  of  a handful  of  Erythroniums ........ thank goodness  I  get to  see  all the  pretty  ones  being  shown here!

Thank you, Maggi! I can't blame your bulb despot! I'm now running out of room. I thought people have massive mansion with gigantic gardens!

657802-0

This one looks like a smaller version of the one below
657804-1

Paid a pound to the lady whose house I viewed. She had a nice size garden, but slabs were everywhere!

657806-2

All these 2 are similar but never the same



I think this is a younger version one of the above



When I was in a nursery last night, a lady said she would love to have a green hellebore, not knowing that the green was actually the sign of aging of a creamy one!
