Hellebore

I desaturated and cropped this a little. Hellebores tend to droop so I had to pluck this little flower from the plant to photograph it. They have developed some newer cultivars that don't droop as much, but I have always loved that I have to bend and gently turn the flower to see the inside.

Fabuous detail to this one with that close crop! I need to see if mine are blooming! I don't think they are this pretty though.
