New Hellebores

Hellebores, or Lenten Rose or Christmas Rose.  There are two species that grow here really well, and their common names reflect when they bloom.  Well, here in Rochester, they start to bloom in late winter as soon as the snow melts.  Their foliage is evergreen until spring when they begin to bloom, then I usually trim off the brown leaves.  This photo is of a new cultivar I just found.  What a gorgeous flower!!
