Kellie's Hellebores

Andi - call me if you need a hand. I can bring a flashlight and lots of pots.

Doris - gorgeous pics!! If you have extra seeds later this summer keep me in mind!

One of my black ones Kellie sent me is blooming right now, but the slugs have made a mess of it. It is safely off the slug ranch where it was being kept and in a secure spot at our new place now. I hope to get it in the ground soon and maybe next year it will be nice and fat with lots of flowers for me. Not sure where that double black has gotten itself to... but then a couple are not blooming this year and it may be one of them.

I'll have plenty of seed, Mike. I'll let you know when they're ripe (several months from now)

By the way, all the Hellebores have been entered into the Hellebore Relocation Program. You'll never find them.

Oh. My.

I can't believe the color on this one. It's all the same hellebore.

That one is for sure coming home to me!! Those are very few and far between at Heronswood. (Out of a crop of many thousands there were only eight of those. SCORE!!)

Are you enjoying the show, Doris??

I'm sorry, Kellie, what did you say?

Just so you know, I'm offering my garden for your Hellebore Relocation Program (HRP)

Hey, Paul, I see you live in Michigan (wink, wink!) I'll send those Hellebores right over! Hear that everybody! They're going to Paul's house!

Do you think we'll get seed out of this baby?

Hey Mike - Quick!!!! She'll be here in a couple of weeks, so we have to get to Doris' PRONTO. If we each bring a shovel, I bring the truck, I figure we can get most of them dug and disappeared in an hour.

Shhhhh...... don't tell anyone!

LOL!

Don't be thinking that I won't hunt each and every one of them down!

I've got almost 7 acres to hide them in now - you couldn't find them all!

[Andi - I'm on my way...]
