@daisy-jane Thank you. Some are named bought ones, and others have cross-pollinated many times, to create some truly unique plants! I love my Hellebores and have beds just for the orientalis hybrids. The specific named forms are kept separately, to try and avoid cross-pollination, and I pollinate them by hand. I then tie little net bags around the flowers I've pollinated, to avoid further pollination, and to catch the seeds in, ready for sowing or for swapping/selling. Glad you like them 😀👍😀

They're beautiful David and it must be so exciting waiting to see what they turn out like after crossing them 😊👍
Stunning! 😍
