More of Flower Child's Winter Flowers



Helleborus - a.k.a. Lenten Rose

These delightful plants, once you get them established self seed. They enjoy a shaded area and thrive well in the same type of garden as Camellias. They bloom from January through April and are deer resistant. A plus in the Middle Georgia Landscape in as much as deer abound in this area. Note the wire in the second image. The only other way to get a picture of these flowers is lay on the ground and shoot up. They droop down and are lovely to also float in a bowel of water so that you can enjoy them indoors.
