Icy mud!
Golly Gosh.
They're beautiful. Thanks SO much for going through the icy mud to take the photos.
I love Hellebores. I was supposed to do a botanical art course some years back but wasn't able to do it because my daughter was ill. Hellebores are great flowers/plants to paint in watercolour.
I have this book on Medieval Flowers. It's just amazing.
It's in the section titled "Woodlands"

Hellebores and snowdrops were the earliest reminders that winter might eventually end, followed by clumps of delicate wild daffodils, whose lingering presence marks the sites of long-forgotten monasteries to this day.

Thanks for that.
