Hi Marilyn. It was a great way to celebrate my winter birthday. My husband doesn't share my gardening hobby, but he was a good sport and had a suprisingly nice time too. I laugh when I hear him explaining to his buddies all about the hellebores. His favorite thing was the way they used various containers to float the flower heads. Now he is on the hunt for similar containers for my gardens - go figure.... I'm trying to decide whether it is an annoying or an endearing feature that you have to get down on the ground to see the blooms LOL...
