Ian M, lovely Eranthis  - a real gem. 8)

Ian C.,
got curios and just checked genus calianthemum on the web. Wonderful flowering species endemic to the alps. Never had them on my screen ;D
Which species is yours? Difficult to please?
Best wishes
Armin

Hello Armine, we have this as Calianthemum anemonoides and it is totaly hady will come through the ground even when it is frozen the flowers vary and some are excellent with others raggedy, the plant sets seed which must be sown when ripe for best results. I will post picture from last years flowering  cheers Ian the Christie Kind

Michael, you grow a super selection of Hellebores - and how good it is to see the variation in the shapes and colours of the flowers at what seems  a very early point in the year.
A particular comfort to those of us still under snow.  thanks!

Really lovely hellebores. It's hard to say which ones I like most, but the picotee edged ones are really special. :)
