Show us your Hellebore...

Id love to see pictures of others Hellebores, they are so varied and beautiful and give such lovely winter colour. Heres a few of my open ones, the darker ones are budding but not out yet:
Niger, huge blooms and profuse;

Unnamed Orientalis hybrid;

Winterbells;

Decaya pink
christmas carol;

Various orientalis hybrids

Athelas

Lovely hellebores @JessicaS, I quite like that last one

I bought these last month, they already had a bumblebee visiting them a few days after planting 

HGC Ice Breaker Max — very floriferous 

HGC Ice 'n' Roses Red — I also considered getting HGC Barolo which is much the same colour, but this one was a bit taller

Taken last year this is Moondance

Anna's Red (Marbled group). The colour stays strong over the years. I have orientalis types but they are much more sludgy and washed out in tone. Not my thing at all.

Loving seeing these, some real beauties! Im going to have to find that Annas red and that ice n roses red. Most of my darker ones arent out yet. 
Just had to have this one I found in homebase at the weekend! Such pretty blushed effect. Large flowers too.

Heres the beautiful 'Phoebe' last year, almost out this year but not quite. Flowers for months on end.

I can't remember what type they are, because I am terrible for misplacing labels, but I think they are beautiful. I initially found hellbores quite ugly and somehow brash (an opinion passed down from a relative, I think), but now I appreciate them as a surprisingly soft hint of colour in the winter months.

I only grow whites and darks, as I don't like the wishy washy pink colours - in any plant. Fortunately, the dark ones I have seed easily, and don't cross with anything either, so I don't get that problem

The White Lady varieties have a more variable look - these are both W. Lady

Think this may be some form of Niger. I am always loosing labels, too now I always write the plant name in a special little book I was given as a gift.  It  stops me buying duplicates and is useful place to write down fav garden quotes, gardens to visit, pruning details etc.

@JessicaS Thanks for starting this discussion. I used to have a smallish collection of Hellebores but they have all disappeared from my garden except those two. Rather disappointed so far!
