Beautiful! My Ivory Prince has buds up, but none have opened yet. The others are still just getting stalks going. Can't wait to see more of your pics!

The first one is lovely :D

Mine have been blooming for several weeks now... strange they are normally late in my garden, but it have been so very mild

Only have the old red one and the old white one

Why don't I get some nicer ones :-?

It's been kind of a funny winter here in Richmond, B.C. I have an unknown Hellebore that was pretty much open at the same time it was last year, but my 'Ivory Prince' will be more than a week later. Last year it was beginning to flower on the 4th of February, here it is the 11th and all I can see is buds. And lots of buds I might add, it sure has grown over the past year and there will be quite the number of flowers this year.

Very nice Andi. You are lucky, the bulk of my plants bloomed very early (Dec-Jan) and maybe 80% or so of all flowers were killed=no seed. There are a few opening now or still in bud which would usually be the 'normal' flowering time here. I suppose the upside is I'll be less confused about what to pollinate. :-)

Each year, I'm amazed at how hearty and how early my Hellebores bloom. If they weren't so darn expensive (relative to my other plants), I'd have more of them.
Gardening requires lots of water - most of it in the form of perspiration.

Most of my hellebores are under 6' snow drifts and two more feet of snow is expected in the next 24 hours. Thank you for letting me enjoy yours, all who posted pictures.
