Hellebore in the snow. Of course like most winter flowers the hellebores hang their heads to keep the weather out, until the end of the season when their are more pollinators, better weather and less time available. But this one alone was almost upright. Its cold but still worth the walk in the garden.

I have white Hellebores in the front and I just discovered my late partner had planted purple ones next to the carport. I had not noticed this one before. Supposedly, when the flowers are in bloom it's best to remove most of the leaves (many turn black). Some Camellias are also winter bloomers.

Most people do remove old leaves yes. This is not a named one, just a seedling, but the variety is huge and they are much collected in the UK.
@Fernapple It's really nice to have a garden with flowers blooming year around. The other day I saw 2 pink Rhoddy's in full bloom. Granted our winters are mild and it has been touching on 50 degrees for quite a few days.
@JackPedigo Our winters are not that mild but we do get a few winter flowers, we are soon coming to the hight of the snowdrop season, will all being well, post something then.
And a good photo, well focused.
