Eliza Waters 
Beautiful 🥰💞
Thank you, Karen!
Your covers it all: outside & inside of the flowers & the gorgeous colors! Lnmlkn
Thank you, Alice 🙂
(Your photo….)
It’s a striking plant. Not surprising that it’s considered to have special powers.
A dark horse, for sure. 😉 Thanks, Tanja!
Goodness, it really is quite striking.
Thanks, Tony!
What a beautiful rich colour Eliza. Thank you for sharing and joining in! 🤗
Thank you, Cathy, it’s going to be a fun week. 🙂
How very nice to see flowers and such beauties too😊. Wonderful photo!
Thank you, Belinda! 🙂
That’s a gorgeous hellebore, a lovely colour and pretty shaped petals.
Thank you, Liz. It’s a favourite!
What a beautiful Hellebore Eliza! ❤ xxx
Thank you, Xenia! 💜
That one’s a delicious color, Eliza!

Thanks, Kris. And it is quite vigorous, too. Blooms profusely!
I’ve never seen that flower before, it’s amazing.
Thank you, Laura. One of the first flowers to bloom in spring. 🙂
What a beauty! I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen this one before.
Thank you, Rebecca. There has been a flurry of new hybrids the past few years. Fun to see what the breeders are creating.
That looks like a special hellebore, Eliza! Do you know the variety name?
Thanks, Audrey. Without digging through the snow to find the tag (ha!) I’m guessing ‘Midnight Ruffles’ 🙂
That does describe it. Thanks.
The only flowers in bloom around here are poinsettias or Christmas cactuses. That’s a gorgeous hellebore-thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Monika. It is a beautiful herald of spring. 🙂
It is but it’s a l-o-n-g way away out here. But it’s nice to dream and enjoy the journey.
The color is gorgeous, but that ‘peek inside’ is fun, too!
Thank you, Linda. It is my favorite hellebore.
Ooh, I missed seeing this yesterday. Gorgeous color.
Thank you, Susie! 💜
That is a great color. For some reason I didn’t think they came in such dark colors.
One of my faves! …and they last so long!
They do put on a good show. 🙂 Thanks, Jenny!
I do love Hellebores. Hope in February–and not that far away! And that IS a really nice color.
Thank you, Lisa. It really isn’t all that far away. 😉
What a beauty, Eliza. This is going to be a lovely week!
Thank you, Dale. It is a fun meme for these dark, short days. The best kind of nostalgia!
Absolutely perfect!
They look like dancers 🙂
I can imagine that 🙂 Thanks, Andrea!
There’s an arboretum near me that has a lot of hellebore planted. It’s one of my first stop in spring, for the hellebore, snowdrops, and Adonis vernalis that bloom early. Lovely images and flowers!
Thanks, Tom. Would that be Tower Hill? I haven’t been in decades.
No, it’s Acton Arboretum. I’ve never been to Tower Hill, but Garden in the Woods and Acton Arboretum more times than I can count.
I’ve never heard of Acton Arboretum, went to GITW once. Maybe I need to plan a road trip!
It’s not as lush as Garden in the Woods, but it’s more friendly to photographers. The are some big massed plantings of wood poppy, lots of bloodroot, trillium, trout lily, and bluebells (Mertensia).
Sounds like a good springtime visit. Any summer bloomers?
I visit there though May or June, less so thereafter. I’m off to meadow locations after that, but I bet there is something nice blooming then. The volunteer gardeners who maintain it are very knowledgeable.
