I started a lot earlier than you did.  Bought small plants locally.  Only the really old ones.  When I found Hellebore list on computer got seeds from Hellex seed exchange.  Now too many of so so plants. The people with seeds had beautiful plants so I got more interested.  But every one of the seeds I bought from Dudley in Tasmania are special.  Then we finally began to get plants from across the Mississippi from Terra Nova.  This plant addiction can get out of hand.  Nancy

I have had the benefit of one seedling plant from my ordinary Lenten Rose.

None of my hellebores are growing in water.  After growing do not water except the ones that got too much light during the past hot dry summer.  Compost and some lime maybe needed.  My problem is getting rid of hundreds of seedlings.  Can't miss deadheading even one plant.

I bought a Mini Onyx Odyssey.  Suppose to be regular size but is small in statue and size of blooms.  I love the little plants and love this even though did not know what I was getting.  Easier to cover when the weather gest bad though.  Nancy

Very nice Nancy!  Beautiful color.

I got a couple a few years ago –Amber Gem and Onyx Odyssey; nice color combo. Mine aren’t open yet though.

Large flower, great substance, open form...what is not to like about
this flower. Well, should be there all year, maybe. Probably would
not be as special if bloomed all year though.
