To Hellebores and back

I'm no gardener.  I know nothing about flowers but I do know (or at least, I thought I did) that they don't come into full bloom in January unless they are snowdrops.  So I was very pleasantly surprised to see that these hellebores were in full bloom in my front garden.  No surprise, I'm sure, to people who know about these things but I was very pleased to see them.  Unfortunately it was rather windy so they wouldn't stay still long enough to get them all in focus.
