The same reason so many love snowdrops - doing the business when other plants are out of sight.
Good shot.

Yes Mark, you might say that I shoot my food (usually before I consume it--but there's a great post-prandial shot of those porgys). Food photography is second only to garden photography in my picture-taking passions.

Carlo,
I have had a Helleborus niger in flower here for the last couple of weeks too. It did it last year as well. Somewhat confused I think.
Maybe it is just wishing it was in cooler climes instead of here.

Cheers.

I love the idea but mine likes to flower at Easter
Right now it is thoroughly flat even though it is mostly clear of snow.
