Helleborus orientalis

A slightly slow start today after an evening out with old friends Joanne and Robert yesterday – great to catch up after many, many years. So a bit of a lazy day, getting the odd chore done and now working out how long I need to cook a lump of topside beef so that I don't turn it into a chewy disaster.

All the hellebores in the garden are coming to the end of flowering now – these dark ones are my favourite though. Yes, I might have got the water sprayer out ;)
