Looks interesting.

NightHawk:
Thanks for that link Eric.  A very interesting site indeed.  8)

We have 2 Helleborus orientalis plants in the front garden and 4 of them in the back garden.

There's 1 Helleborus ericsmithii in the back garden, and this is Kathy's favourite.

I dont have enough Hellebores in my garden. Thanks for the reminder - will buy some more.

I have a few H. niger and a few (bought untagged - what I have identified to be) H. corsicus  OR H. argutifolius (is there a difference, or is the former a synonym of the latter?)
   
Whens the best time to plant?

NightHawk:
We don't know about the names you've mentioned George, but the best time to plant is now.

As a comparison, Kathy bought an established plant and a new plant a while ago.  The new plant didn't flower until the following year, so she recommends that it is an investment to buy a more mature plant that's already in flower.

Palustris:
Selection of mine. We have about 100 culimps.  More pics available

H. x ballardii

H foetidus

H. thibetana

H. hybrids of various forms.



















Double forms


I cannot find a picture of H. argutifolius, but the flowers are like H. foetidus only pure green. Nor can I find one of H. purpurescens. I think one of the deeper purple ones above may be it.
H. corsicus is a synonym for H. argutifolius
