 Helleborus argutifolius Corsican Hellebore
Planted late February 2011 by the back gate.  Looking forward to seeing the first blooms in 2012.
 Helleborus foetidus 
Planted by the back gate in November 2009. 
Looked great in 2010, the drought in 2010 has dropped this plant back a bit.

Helleborus x ericsmithii HGC 'Winter's Song'
Planted in the woods garden in February 2001. 
 Helleborus X ericsmithii HGC 'Silvermoon'
Planted in the woods garden in February of 2011.
Helleborus x ballardiae ‘HGC Pink Frost'
Planted in the woods garden in February of 2011.
Helleborus niger 'HGC Jacob' 
Planted in the woods garden in the spring of 2010.
These flowers survived 5-6 icings and still were the first hellebores to bloom in the garden in 2011.
After aging a little the blooms turned slightly pink.


Hellebore "Meg's Garden' not the real name it was massive in the spring of 2010 with over 50 blooms. Between moving it and the drought of 2010 it has reduced down a good bit.
Planted at the edge of the woods garden in the spring of 2010.

Hellebore kate 01
These came from Meg's mother's garden via Kate. They were a house warming gift when we had our house warming party after we finished the bi remodel. This plant seems the most varied of the three plants from Kate. In fact these might be a root division from one really big plant.
