Hellebore

I've taken the easy route with my blip today - this is the same flower that I photographed last night.  It was looking a little limp and sad in its vase, but figured if I get in close that won't be evident.  In the end I've gone for a triptych.  
Appreciate very much your response to yesterdays effort, thanks so much.
A wonderful day weather wise, and generally as well.
Doug mowed the roadside lawns, and I did some gardening.  Felt great to be outside pottering about.
Its just on 7 pm, and the rugby clash between our Canterbury Crusaders v the Hurricanes (Wellington based) is about to start.  
Catch up in the morning :)
