The Christmas rose – Hellebore

Its nickname ‘the Christmas rose’ might be confusing, because the Hellebore hardly has anything in common with a rose. But if you look closely to the flower bud you will see similarities with its real relative: the Ranunculus.

Besides the typical white version, the Hellebore is available in various bright colours, ranging from yellow and peach to dark purple. So when there is hardly any colour during the winter season: bright up the place with the Hellebore!
