In recent years a lot of hybridising has been done with Helleborus orientalis and there are many outstanding cultivars. The examples below marked with an A are from Ashwoods Nurseries, Greensforge, Kingswinford, West Midlands, DY6 0AE. Ones marked with a B are from Blackthorns Nursery, Kilmeston, Alresford, Hants. SO24 0NL. Neither nursery sends out orders by post, but it is worth a pilgrimage to both armed with loads of money. Most of these pictures were taken in the Royal Horticultural Halls in London at either the January or February Shows. It is worth attending for the sensational smell of the Hammellis species and cultivars.
