Re: [SG] Introduction

Hi, all, from Massachusetts, where the garden is beginning to come to
life! I was thrilled to see some tiny hepatica that I bought from our
own Gene Bush in bloom.  Also, the hellebores look wonderful.  Lots of
foliage popping up and filling out quickly. Also blooming with its
small rose-colored flowers is the corydalis.  I am most excited to
have finally figured out what a plant that has been a mystery for
several years is......Its straplike leaves stayed green all winter
long, and it has some chartreuse flowers rimmed in pink coming off of
a very thick stalk.  I just saw a picture that positively identifies
it as a hellebore foetidus, stinking hellebore.  It has done really
well.

Now, here is my dilemma.....I am moving, finally, for those of you who
I have shared gardening lists with for years, after a year and three
quarters of looking, I have finally found a house....with a huge yard,
shade AND sun (for the first time, I will be able to grow some
sun-lovers).  But there is NO garden, just a few shrubs and a large
yard.  I would love to take cuttings of some of the hellebores, both
the lenten roses and the stinking hellebore....but I have heard that
they do not like to be moved once they are established....any thoughts
on this?

Thanks, and happy Easter or Passover to all,

    Marilyn
