Positive	wallaby1	On Jan 18, 2006, wallaby1 from Lincoln (United Kingdom) (Zone 8a) wrote: I have found this plant slow to establish, but it was a young bare root plant when I bought it approx. 5 years ago. It now seems to have established and the last two years has thrown multiple flower heads. The young leaves have a purplish tinge, the stems are a deep maroon purple. Its flowers are of a more rounded form, with a large boss of yellow stamens. The petals are a deep maroon-purple. The colour can apparently vary, a description can be found of its breeding progress on the following link [HYPERLINK@www.hellebore.com] The alternative name of Queen Of The Night Strain is included in this entry according to the information given on this link, and it is unlikely that many people will have a division from the original selection.
