Helleborus (‘Lenten Rose’)

Dinner at Raymond & Jeanne’s for Clare’s birthday. This is in one of Jeanne’s gardens.

From Wikipedia, “Despite names such as ‘winter rose’, ‘Christmas rose’ and ‘Lenten rose’, hellebores are not closely related to the rose family (Rosaceae). Many hellebore species are poisonous.”

Screwed again by Google and ON1: This was actually taken yesterday — for which I already have posted — so technically it’s a “filler.” Google assigned an incorrect filename to the image, and ON1 obliterated the Date-and-Time Taken meta data. Grrrr… Since I posted this for today “in good faith,” I’m not going to use the ‘filler’ tag.
