Tag: Unknown flower

I saw this flower blooming today. I do not remember planting this because I generally keep tabs of the name of what I plant. This was growing in a very shady location and looked wilted so I transplanted it last year to a sunny location - in front of a clematis florida sieboldii to give the clematis some shade in its roots. It is now blooming and I am really curious as to what this flower is. It is somewhat greenish in color with large leaves.

sweetlebee	Mar 11, 2008 \| 2:54 PM PST It's a hellebore. They need sun in the spring and shade in the summer so they're typically planted under deciduous trees. Either that or plant it where it will only get morning sun. They bloom till May and will send up new leaves, so you can cut off any old leaves that look ragged.

gardenbug8	Mar 11, 2008 \| 6:19 PM PST Thanks, sweetlebee. It does get morning sun now but I don't know about summer. I will just wait and see and leave it alone for now.
