Don't get too close

Helleborus foetidus, known in English as the stinking hellebore.

It doesn't look smelly - not sure what a smelly plant does look like but this looks quite pretty.

Does it really stink? By late January around here, I wouldn't care what it smelled like, I'd just be glad to see something flowering.

Love the composition! The smelly, but pretty flower in the foreground and the trees beyond making you wonder what's just beyond. Nice!
