The buds have been there for a week or more, but they opened yesterday.
Closer …
Closest …
Don’t know what these are. But they were there when I raked back some of the leaf mulch.

I love seeing those freckled faces. Interesting emerging plants. The color alone is exciting.
Terrific photos of the hellebores. I just added some to my garden last summer (after seeing so many beautiful ones on garden blogs last spring). I never knew how hard it was to photograph them until I had one open! I was laying on the ground bent upwards ~ so I can really appreciate these now.
Kasey:
I know what you mean. And I hate those pix of the hand with the flower upturned between the fingers.
Not that the flower isn’t spectacular.
The ones I posted are in a raised bed on a slope. So I can hunker down and get a pretty good angle without digital intervention.
How you figured out what those orange ‘sprouts’ are in the bottom images? Fascinating little things.
