Hellebore Trio in Copper Cup


A portrait of three flowers of Lenten Rose in an old copper measuring cup. Hellebores are widely grown in the northern hemisphere gardens where they provide wonderfull spring/early summer blossoms. There are many cultivars of the Lenten Rose. What appear to be petals are in fact sepals which surround a ring of small cup-shaped nectaries which are actually petals shaped to hold nectar. We grow several varieties in our garden in the Scottish Highlands.
