Cooperative Hellebore

We have several beautiful hellebores in the garden but the older I get the more difficult they are to photograph. They grow so close to the ground and face downwards. Gone are the days when I would lie on the floor to take pictures 😂. This one however is more upright and all I need to do is kneel down. I can manage that.
Lovely shot, I’d like to see that front flower even closer up too. It has beautiful detail in the petals. Lying down isn’t a big problem for me, it’s the getting up again that is a challenge! :)

@gardencat Yes that’s my problem too 😂.

@gardencat In early February https://365project.org/susiemc/album-1-year-5/2020-02-07 I did get down on my hands and knees and with a nifty bit of camera work I managed some close ups of some of the hellebores, I think the top right is the same plant as this one.

Thanks for the link. That shot also shows the beautiful darker shading on the underside of the petals.
