Robindog, Thanks, now I know my resident deer did eat a bunch of hellebore's a few years back. Fortunately they all recovered and regrew and unfortunately the deer that ate them must have survived too as we found no body. I do like you do and just plant any that I see popping up in different spots in the garden. I can't get enough of them after seeing a stunning display of them in Tulsa Okla at the Philbrook Museum of Art in 2007. I find that the hybrids don't bloom the same as the parent plant, but who cares, as they are all beautiful.

Wonderearth, Best of luck with your seedlings.

Here are some shots taken last year but also including some of the Hellebore foetidus which are blooming now. We are going to have a nice display this year as many have a nice bud set already. Patti
