A Hidden Treasure…

Hellebore. Common name Lenten Rose. Their leaves stiff, waxy, and decidedly ungraceful, their flowers nearly hidden. Most of them bloom fairly low to the ground, their flowers nearly always facing toward the earth, making them go virtually unnoticed. But if you take a moment to stop and really look, they are so quietly beautiful. They remind me to slow down and savor life, as it really can be magical! I just love them…

    Love these Jessica. I have these in my garden too, used to be pure white but over the years they’ve changed more into the colour of the ones in your photo. I also have the aptly named ‘stinking hellebore’! Don’t recommend that one! xReplyCancel

    Wow, those are breathtaking! I am sure glad you stopped and snapped a shot. What a shy but gorgeous subject. I love how you used the clouds to naturally highlight them. Great detail too. Thanks for sharing!ReplyCancel
