Helebore

My friend had this enormous green, dried out muddy lump on her hardstanding for weeks; waiting for her husband to throw it out. She told me it was a purple helebore so I rescued it. Split it into three plants, bunged them into front, north facing, garden and two of them are thriving.

Wait until you see Sunday's shocking pink!!!!!!!

@megpicatilly that blob of pollen is so disconcerting
@quietpurplehaze if she'd said it was a normal hellebore it would still be on her drive!!!

[Sue]

Fabulous colours, the lime green against the purple are a lovely combination

@suesouthwood nature's own palette

Lovely colour. It will self-seed too by the look of it.

Possibly has developing seed pods in the middle. You've given me an idea for today's photo.
