Did you know....

Despite names such as "winter rose", "Christmas rose" and "Lenten rose", hellebores are not closely related to the rose family.  Many hellebore species are poisonous!

The flowers have five petal-like sepals surrounding a ring of small, cup-like nectaries which are actually "petals" modified to hold nectar. The sepals do not fall as petals would, but remain on the plant, sometimes for many months.
