Hellebourus.....the tough little beauties in my yard




Despite looking almost dead the other day with record cold temps, the hellebore around the yard have all recovered.  




Hellebore flowers droop downward.  Most of these photos were taken from below, leaving the framing up to chance.

 A little "color accent" feature fun with "Pink Lady" who grows near the front steps.




 This one was given to me by Des, Damon's mom.  I don't know the name but it is really pretty....

 Still pretty, even splattered with mud from the last deluge.
 Still unfurling......
 The flowers will peak soon......
Then, about May,  they will give over their energy to new leaves and the cycle starts again.
