Hellebore "Diva"

I have been saving this one for a "rainy day" or to be more correct a blipless day.  Diva is turning out to be a lovely low growing floriferous "Christmas Rose".  It has been flowering for a few weeks and as can be seen from the blip is still producing new flowers.  So far the only draw back I have found is it seems to be delicious as far as slugs are concerned, I had to remove three to take the photo.

When I was young there were Christmas Roses and Lenten Roses now as we go round the garden centres it seems you can find a Hellebore in flower at all times of the year.
