I'm a real sucker for white and bell shapes too. So this one wins my heart! No idea what it is or where it came from.

So clean looking. I'd like an entire bed of just those.

I agree with you Marie. I find after growing hellebores that I love flowers that nod down. It is the mystery of what they will reveal when turned over that is part of the charm.

I couldn't agree more; I never discard a white, no matter what the shape. Very classic plant Marie; to me, that looks just like a hellebore should. :-)

A good and beautiful plant, Marie. Interesting to see how the old leaves stay green during your cold winter - they seem to be well protected under a good snow cover.

Matthias, the old leaves get very "ratty" under the snow and I tend to remove them. What you see are fresh new ones in this picture, with only a few old ones lying flat on the ground. If you look carefully, you can see the cut marks where I've gotten rid of the old leaves.
Another advantage to removing the old leaves is that it allows room for new seedlings to come up. I've given many away.

This is indeed a very nice plant, and judging by the number of flowers it must be quite a few years old (though I have noticed that some plants are starting out with more than one stem right in their first flowering year, while others take a while to produce more).
Light colors are very good for the 'further away' impact, while the darker ones tend to melt into the, at that time of the year, usually dark background of soil.
I have to admit though, that I am even more intrigued by that similar shape, but very delicately dotted one you posted earlier!
Your garden must be a delight for you at this time!

Marie, I was referring to the red indicated old leaves.

Mine in zone 7 (8-9 recently) look worse in winters without snow.
