I was writing recently about how much I was looking forward to seeing how my hellebore seedling would look when it flowered. Here it is! It kindly opened up on my birthday and
huskyteer is holding its head up for the photo. Hellebore seedlings are chancy things, which may turn out a muddy pink, not worth having. That’s why I recommend only buying a hellebore plant when it’s in flower. I see from the label that I’ve been growing this one since July 2019 (why you should label your seedlings and cuttings). I have some more babies and it will probably be another two years until they flower. I think this one worthy of being planted out. And no one has another exactly like it!
Thanks to
lethe1 and
gwendraith for help with pics. It still took me ages to get it right!
