A Patch of Brightness.

A cool and grey day, but this patch of hellebores brought brightness to the day. (A question for the gardeners here: Do you also know these as 'Christmas rose"? My plant ID app says so, but...)

So lovely. I don’t know them as that but I’m such an amateur gardener. I love these flowers but do wish they would look up!

[Shutterbug]

I think they have a number of names and maybe some depend on what hemisphere you live it. I have heard them called hellebore, Lenten Rose, Christmas Rose and winter rose. Beautiful capture of the details in the pretty blossoms.

Lovely details and a beautiful fish feeling to this. Yes, I have heard them referred to as Christmas roses. I've always assumed that in some places they bloom around Christmas time.

Great shot with lovely delicate coloured flowers

@shutterbug49 Thank you! And that's great information (the list of names and the point about which hemisphere one lives in) :)

Beautiful capture yes I have always known these small white ones as Christmas roses Hellebore is the species name I think.
