Hellebore surprise
Posted by admin in 21 Feb, 2008

See the ivory hellebore flower in the background of two of these photos? I’ve had that one for a couple of years, and it’s been in the same pot for at least a year. I was surprised and happy to see the magenta hellebore buds spring up this year. I’m not sure where the magenta plant came from. I think I did have a hellebore that color once but it died three or four years ago. So maybe some remnants of it were left in the soil, or maybe a bird deposited seeds in the pot.
Either way – bonus hellebore! 🙂
“Magenta and ivory live together in perfect harmony side by side in the same container on my balcony. “ (A crappy take-off on the Stevie Wonder/Paul McCartney duet “Ebony and Ivory” from 1982.)
