Hellebores
Orientalis hybrids are blooming in my garden--earliest ever. Looks like
argutifolius and foetidissima will soon follow.
Amazing how drought-resistant these things are. We had no rain to speak of
from June to early December and I did not water them. No problem! And they
are coming up all over the place from self-sown seed, especially
foetidissima. Got to cut off those old stalks earlier this year.
