Hellebore

I blipped this hellebore a few weeks ago, when the flowers were just opening up, and now all the buds have opened and the earliest flowers are on the point of going over. It's much the most vigorous one we have in the garden, far more floriferous than its neighbours. Fortunately it's also one of the prettiest, with a strong contrast  of wine-coloured speckles against the creamy white  background. One of those plants that just seems to be happy where it is.
