Found out through the font of knowledge known as 365 that this hellebore is also known as a lenten rose. I think that's rather pretty. This has lovely dusky colours and although it's a bit squiffy and one petal is a bit rain-stained I thought it was still worth scrummaging down on the flower-bed, sticking my head up against the rose-bush and balancing the camera on my nose for a few minutes!
So honoured to have so many views and comments on my recent shots, you are all so kind, and so creative to think of positive things to say about my pictures! Thank you all for taking the time. :)
