I just noticed that my moth (or rather slug) eaten bit of the Marietta form is in flower though as I moved it last year to what I thought was a more promising spot it at least is not sulking too much. Just to put this one in perspectyive it is currently only about 6" or 15cm high. It seems more pink in than I remember. Sorry about the quality had too shoot from the hip as this one is in the middle of a busy border

That's wonderful Marcus, a plant-orientated tennis star. But I guess the Scots here will be hoping Andy Murray triumphs.

 It would be wonderful to see Andy Murray win.... but when his opponent is giving such great publicity to a Botanic Garden, it's easy to like him!

Some Helleborus orientalishybrids today in my garden.
The first one is a seedling from one of my plants. He's four years old now.
The second one came from the Ashwood nursery several years ago.
