Glad you got a yellow hellebore, until last year we did not have any yellow blooming. Our 'Gold Finch' was in the garden for 2 years before it bloomed, now has babies under it! Picked up a double yellow and 2 single yellows so yellow is making a presence in our hellebore garden!Randy Emmitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10292186655869617897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8765612855992884633.post-48299250283255582382013-03-04T19:13:08.160-05:002013-03-04T19:13:08.160-05:00Then I see why you are digging so many up to take ...Then I see why you are digging so many up to take to your new home.
