    Hi Graham no must say mine have never suffered from leaf spot and I've had them in the garden for over 10 years now, in fact I must admit I'd never heard of the problem till reading your comment, do now though I've just googled it :D.

      We have loads of the older types of hellebores and have recently been starting to acquire a number of newer varieties. We have some of the upward looking ones and have, only in the last couple of years, planted doubles. The phot of the double I put on this thread is the first one that has bloomed.

      One of the disappointing things with all the new ones is that they don't seem to self-seed at all. We'll have to give them a hand.

          Nice pics all!

          Farmyard Nurseries have a great collection of Tricyrtis - I've been thinking of buying from them once the move is done.

          First Iris emerged today - I.reticulata I think.
