Hellebores

We've lost our summer weather for now. It is, well, like March. Cloud, and a slight nip in the air.

My mother adored Christmas roses and I find hellebores have a particular charm. They are just a little old-fashioned, just a little under-rated. But they have a classiness and delicacy that is hard to beat.

I had a wander round the garden again, playing with the macro lens, and this was part of the selection.
