The day was sunny, chilly and extremely windy, so getting good garden photos was a real challenge.
Here are some of the hellebores from the gardens at Pine Knot Farm.
A lovely single deep pink picotee.
The new ones we purchased I'll post soon, have a look at the hellebore garden blooms in our garden last season. We visited the Pine Knot Farm Hellebore Festival for the first time on March 07, 2010 here is the report, much more doubles this year!
Guess what you still have a chance to go as next week Friday and Saturday in the last days of the festival. Pine Knot Farm is about 1.5 hours from Durham and Chapel Hill just inside Virginia, everyone we met was from the area where we live.

Oh I don't know how you can choose which one(s) to buy. They are all so pretty. Love the doubles.
That sounds like such a fun way to spend the day! With that many choices it would be hard to only choose a couple. I can't wait to see the ones you chose.
Wow Randy, these are the best hellebores i found in blogs. Now if i might be able to see a temperate climate again, i will try to see a hellebore.
Wow! I agree that the first one is a showstopper but they are all gorgeous!
Hmmm, I am off on Friday. Plans might have to be made.
You got great pictures in spite of the wind. I didn't realize the festival was so popular -- sounds like one of Plant Delights' open houses.
I don't know if my comments are landing in the spam box elsewhere, but a couple of bloggers have told me that while they could read my comments they couldn't publish them.
Wow, can I have every single one of those? (and a larger garden too?) :-)
What eye candy! This is one of my favorite plants in the garden. Just love the pop of color in an otherwise dull landscape during late winter. I think you did well just to buy 7 plants!
How beautiful! I love the ivory colored double flowered, with the freckles. I could get into a LOT of trouble at a Hellebore Fest! ;)
What beauties, Randy! I'm excited to see what you purchased. I need to go to the next post to see if I have looked at that one yet.
How absolutely gorgeous! I am in love with those white singles tinged with pink!
I so wanted to go to this festival, but with our schedule it was impossible. Maybe next year - it looks so amazing!
OK, that's it. I need to get out more!!! And I need some of these!
