Here is a plant purchased at least a dozen years ago from Plant Delights nursery. This was just at the beginning of the Hellebore craze with all the hybridizing just starting. I ordered two different hybrids. One of them has since passed on, which is an accomplishment in and of itself\u2013it is pretty tough to kill a Hellebore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The living plant is a disappointment in some ways. I think it might be called Winter Wren. The plant has white flowers that face down and have a small dark maroon eye around the center. The flowers get black spots all over them on the outside some years, and I assume this is related to rain, despite being planted under the Douglas fir tree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
