Fantastic hellebores, Michael.
I think if I had to pick a favourite it would be the 4th . The white with the dark red blotch in the centre.
It's absolutely beautiful.

Thats very fine. I had a similar plant from John Massey some years ago, but slightly more cream with dark nectaries.

Michael - We've grown many Hellebores from seed but never got a clear pink that we were happy with,  4473 is the dream.

All superb but 4476 and 4494 are favourites.

John that pink was grown from seed, "Ashwood Garden Hybrids from Single Pinks". There are a few more from that batch but the flowers are not open yet.

Here is the first shoot on thibetanus. The other shoots seem to be waiting for some warmer weather

Lovely pictures Michael,

I especially like the last two (yellows), really nice. Are the Ashwood hybrids?
