I was worried that the hellebores wouldn't survive and thrive as well as they did due to the winter lasting as long as it did. I was particularly worried about the black death. A few weeks ago, I aggressively cut back last year's growth and pruned all the dead leaves. I probably did it too early, but they seem to be doing well now! The flowers are gorgeous and the healthy, new leaves are filling in.
Below are some images that I took of my various hellebores:

I love Hellebores! They are the only flower that has been blooming in my garden for a number of weeks even with the bitter North East winds, you have inspired me to take a few photos I shall go out today and take some for my blog.

I have never seen a flower like that! I love it! The colors are so rich. Thank you for sharing this touch of spring. I woke up to snow today so it is a welcome sight! Enjoy the day. Erin
