Yes, I was just going to say what Bob says. I think as spring comes you'll be seeing it available. Nurseries are filling their greenhouses with it as we speak. They grow it to a 4 inch and then off it goes to nice people like Chelle.

I'm always on my way out the door..

Ah!

That makes perfect sense! Thanks so much!

I'll mark this one down to check on later.

Polly,

I hope the poor plant (if I find one) will consider me nice.

I've had no experience growing them.

I'm sure it will consider you nice. They are very easy to grow.

I did get a coupon in my email this morning for 5.00 of a hellebore at a local nursery. Aren't they blooming as we type?

Depends on what area of the country you live in. A couple are just starting to break ground here now.

I just received some from mamjack not too long ago. They were still in their packaging and one started blooming right away.

I garden for the pollinators.

Aren't they? Wish I could take credit for them. They are in Tacoma, WA. A friend sent me the pictures.

These pictures were circling the web a couple of months ago. Amazing.

Serious container gardener, I'd say. My friend sent them to me in 2010 after the person who shot the pictures sent them to her. I didn't know they had been around the Net but I'm not surprised.
