Hell, I’ll Bore Ya With Some Hellebores

Posted on January 26, 2019 by heretherebespiders

Standard

Not mine, sadly; from my husband’s uncle’s garden! I must see if he will share a few with me, I love them.

The last is my favourite, but I couldn’t get close enough to see a whole bloom without trampling other plants.

I like the colour of the last one best too, but I like No. 5 as well, with the tiny dark spots. Good to see you back in the blogosphere…

  Well, it’s just photos for now, it was easy and fast. I’ll work up to actually writing!

  Plus, I couldn’t resist the terrible pun.

      It is nice you came along. Thank you. No one else has, yet. Ah well, it’s my own fault.

        It’s that time of year. Things will pick up if you just stick your toe in the water…

Hello stranger. Beautiful hellebores. I have a friend with an amazing woodland garden and she often does an open day for her hellebores. I will let you know when it is on. I have two plants now from her, so slowly building my collection. How are things there?

  I’m doing better finally! Himself is, also. I’d love to go take photos of her plants, if allowed. I promise I won’t tread on any! I don’t have any hellebores, I’m so jealous as they are just beautiful.

    Good to hear you are both doing better. I definitely let you know when her open day is on. I have blogged some photos from her garden on my site before. I will get you link. She’s only a few miles from me so not far.

Love them too. The white/green ones and of course the last dark purple are our favourites. Hope you can make off with some…

Oh, so easy to see where the inspiration for fashion and fairy tales comes from. Beautiful

  Thank you! I’m attempting to make arrangements to visit tomorrow, but there appears to be some confusion. My husband’s uncle wants to come with me and I know he would buy something if it tickles his fancy!
