Helleborus niger

Helleborus niger

I'm on vacation, so only a short written accompaniment today. – Daniel

If you enjoy hellebores (or good photographs), “Weekend Gardener” and “silver_creek” on the UBC discussion forums have posted a great series of images recently – see them here.

For more information on these winter-flowering plants, visit Graham Rice's site exclusively dedicated to Hellebores.

Photography resource link: For inspiration, the photography of Jerry Greer.
