Hellebores are native to much of Europe, along the north coast of Turkey and into the Caucasus, with most found in the Balkans.
The "petals" are actually sepals - the centre is comprised of "nectaries" (petals that hold nectar). Gardeners note - they're a tasty snack to slugs and snails!
Blooming in winter and early spring, they're always a welcome sight in the garden, whatever the weather!
LEGENDS and HISTORY:
Helleborus niger is commonly called the Christmas rose, from a legend that it appeared in the snow from the tears of a young girl who had no gift to give the Christ child in Bethlehem.
During the Siege of Kirrha in 585 BC, Hellebore was reportedly used by the Greek warriors to poison the city's water supply. The defenders were subsequently so weakened that they were unable to defend the city from assault.
An overdose of medication containing Hellebore has been suggested as a cause of the death of Alexander the Great.

Simple pillowcase-style sundress. I shirred the top and used bias tape for the ties. I based the dress on this tutorial: fromanigloo.blogspot.com/2010/05/playful-days-double-laye..., except I did not make it double layered. (gets too hot for double layers in the summer)

This is a photograph from the 5th "Mullingar 10" - a 10 mile road race and fun run which was held in Dalystown, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Sunday July 27th 2019 at 11:00. Dalystown is a rural parish situated about 6 miles south of Mullingar. The race was organised by the Mullingar Harriers Athletics Club who promote the event. There was over 350 participants in the event. A t-shirt and medal were awarded to all participants and finishers.
The race follows a simple 'figure of 8' route. The race starts from Dalystown National School and heads north briefly to Dalystown cross-roads where there is a left turn which brings runners along the L1122 road. The only real cross-over of the route is at the 2.5 and 7.5 mile mark. The race completes a loop between 2.5 and the 7.5 mile mark which brings runners into the locality of Ballinagore. The final 2.5 miles of the race brings runners back through Cloneheigue and the final 1.5 miles of the race is along straight road heading north back to Dalystown and the finish outside of Wallace's Pub. The race start/finish/HQ are accessible from the Mullingar-Tullamore road (the N52).
The course was a mixture of long straight level sections of road with some short rolling hills which makes for a challenging but overall fair course. The race took place is rather warm temperatures for distance running with little or no breeze/wind. A temperature of around 19C was recorded at the start of the race. However some beautiful mature hedgerows along the mostly rural roads provided shade and shelter from the sun for runners. Three water stations were provided on the route to help keep participants hydrated.
Timing and event management was again provided by Irish company MyRunResults. All of the results from today's race and associated media are available on their website.
This was the fifth year of the event and going on today's event it will continue to establish itself as an annual fixture on the calendar. Clubs from all over the North Leinster region and beyond were represented today. Refreshments were provided outside Wallace's Pub at the Finish line. Well done to Mullingar Harriers and all the many volunteers who helped make today's race a wonderful success. There is a very significant amount of volunteer organisation and work required to make a distance race like this a success.
