Monster Hellebore

What's that coming over the hill?

Is it a Monster?

 Is it a Monster?

No ... it's just my beautiful alien-looking Green Hellebore with it's serrated leaves waiting to saw off any passing Play-Doh legs. Withstands (in our garden) wind, rain, heat, freezing temperatures, footballs and the odd bash with the lawnmower. Has glossy, rich green leaves all year round and doesn't seem to mind the occasional lop when it dares to venture too far on to the grass. It's flower buds protrude like something from a Sigourney Weaver movie but without all the slobber. Hideous ... but I love it.
