Strange name for such a pretty flower. From my walk this afternoon.

Wonderfully composed, as is your normal floral close-up. Just super!

The individual petals seem very orchid-like (although lacking in specialization). I like it.

The one part I like about this is the texture in the petals.
Its a nice shot.

I had to open this post just to see what the heck a hellebore was! I wasn't even close to what I guessed.

Beautiful shot.

I had a similar reaction when my wife told me their name. Doesn't sound much better to call them ranunculaceae.

Nice shot. They are lovely flowers, have some in my yard. A nice prelude to spring.
