I'll kick off this thread with a mention of an amazing sight I saw on Friday. At a lunch of Friday there was much talk about a local nursery specialising in Hellebores with a huge range of colours and forms. It was only a couple of miles away so we left slightly early. We found little signs pointing the way up country lanes and came to a large house with two huge polytunnels with 5000 hellebores. There were clean yellows, picotee yellows, Anenome centred yellows, double yellows and all colours that Hellebores come in in these forms. The three of us were like children in a toy shop shouting "look at this one", "look at this". The cost was £18 for 3 singles of any colour and £24 for 3 doubles and Anemone centred. The nursery is at Linnett Farm, Ullingswick, Herefordshire.Last year we, Margaret G, Bob and I, were given plants of John Massy's new Hellebore hybrid, thibetanus x niger, 'Pink Ice'. They weren't flowering but this year they are and the flowers are brilliant. Photo later this week
And here are some singles and a hellebore wedding photo. I chose these ones because all of them look good from above which is how you seem to see them in a garden. I might have gone a bit mad but at £5 for a single and £8 for a double they seemed too good to miss, and they bring new blood to my genetic stock
