Hellebores are looking good!
insam, please DO post photos when you get back...of hellebores and anything else fun that you see. a plant expedition...how fun! great pics of the hellebores, ladies. every year i look forward to your hellebore pics, in part because i can't grow the ones that you do - and in part because it means the ones i can grow are only a month or so away from blooming. woohoo!
More nice photos Doris. What kind of cyclamen is that? It has been wet there it seems but the plants seem happy!
Dee I will certainly post some photos. It will be fun, but a good deal of time I'll be counting particular flower structures in each population to determine ratios in 'the name of science'. Not quite as romantic as leisurely browsing but there will be times for simply enjoying the beauty and wonder as well. There are some wonderful patterns, colors, and forms in the species and some very striking foliage as well.

insam - It looks like Cyclamen coum, but I'll let Doris tell you for sure. My C. coum is in full bloom right now, the C. hederifolium is already bloomed out, and Doris and I live near eachother, so I'm guessing ours bloom at the same time.
Doris... Wish i was closer so I could easily sneak over there and peek at all the hellebores!
keep the photos coming, please
