Hellebore

I was surprised because this plant has more flower buds than leaves, last year it never flowered. I had a quick wander round the garden (takes about 20 seconds since ist a small garden) and OMG most things are dead I probably have enough dead leaves and rubbish to fill a skip *sigh* - was playing around with the flash again but really to get a decent shot of this I would have been been lying on the ground and nope not even for blip would I do that in the middle of winter :)
