These photos were taken on 2nd April just outside the village of Kastelani Giru in northern Corfu just before a long lasting torrential rain and hail storm stopped all photography. The third photo shows the road side bank where the Hellebores were growing among a diverse range of plants including Lunaria annua(the purple flower) and Galanthus reginae-olgae.

Melvyn, thank you very much for these photos! It looks as if the carpels are unfused (free) at the base which would qualify them as H. cyclophyllus. But I guess that they vary. A bit further east in the Pindos mountains you find both forms which means that they would best be described as intermediate between odorus and cyclophyllus.

Looks like lots of gardenbuddies were visiting hellebore sites this year. Were the seeds ripe enough to bring home a few?

Thanks for sharing the photos Melvyn.
