Hellebores

Not the easiest flower to take a photo of, with their drooping heads.  Yes, I had to resort to kneeling in the end, but I did manage to get the Cordylines in, and it also shows how windy it was at the time!

These are in our neighbours' garden, and the Cordylines they grew from seed.  Amazingly tolerant and robust plants, they cope with the wind and salt spray and have lasted more than thirty years so far!
