Gerd,

You were spoiled for choice and it is no wonder you took so little photographs of snowdrops. However, hellebores are very beautiful also.

This looks like a very nice event.

Well, I didn't make it to Margaret Owen's snowdrop open day AGAIN this year - this time due to a stinking cold caught from our kids! Thank you, infectious offspring! Thank you very much!

Thanks for kind comments!
The hellebores were sold by Jürgen Peters, more known for his
Hepatica.

Looked for the pic of the double yellow hellebore posted a few days ago (can't find it) - but can anyone recommend where it could be obtained?

Well Janet and I made it to Margaret Owen's open day,left home in bright sunshine,and as we got nearer through some very wet spells,we arrived about 10.50 to find a small queue at the gate,and the weather improved with only a couple of short sharp showers ,as normal the usual hustle and bustle for the sales,we did however manage to pick up a couple of drops,

A very enjoyable day

Good shots in spite of the rain, thanks for posting.

G. Colossus doesn't look right despite the name tag, unless it's the large leaves in the bottom right corner.
