Irm, I love your white thibetanus!

Most of my plants are still in bud; here are a few flowers blooming today. :)

Anna's Red is the result of 12 years breeding. You got to see it in real life. The new foliage is stunning. Mark

its about 20cm, but - I got the plant in a packet in the middle of january  ;) and its very cold in Berlin  -15° today. So, the plant is potted and it's waiting for better weather in the garden ...

Amazingly beautiful Hellebores, Micheal. They seem so perfect compared to our rain / windswept plants. :(

Mark that "Anna red" has some really nice leaf markings.
Jo do you know the back ground to the breeding? Looks to have some sort of niger in it.i have seen Niger x orientalis, those leaves look chunky like Niger too.
