Hellebores

 



What a lovely surprise this chilly day.

This hellebore has multiplied nicely.


Hellebore is the Latin name for Lenton Rose, which is the common name.  Here's an explanation from google:

Why are hellebores called Lenten rose?
One of the attributes I have come to admire concerning Hellebores is their season proper - they actually bloom during Lent, during the winter, starting to flower before the spireas, forsythia, and flowering trees have begun to blossom.Mar 24, 2010







Birds have been joyous the last few days.
