This one is in a pot under cold glass which seems to suit it but I do have one in the garden which is covered by a cloche outside which does not always flower. Will McLewin grows one outside under a light but much better than me so it is possible in the garden but I haven't found the trick yet

Taking advantage of the sunshine:

Helleborus orientalis subsp. orientalis, Helleborus orientalis subsp. abchasicus, or Helleborus abscasicus if you prefer, Helleborus multifidus subsp. istriacus, now probably Helleborus istriacus, and two pictures of Helleborus odorus.

Great to see the healthy hellebores here, but perhaps this  is a timely warning for other to beware :

Happy Birthday , Chris - you have grown a fine set of flowers for your special day!
These species flowers can be so special - and the foliage too.

Chris great to see these. It is too early here for mine and there is little sign other than atrorubens which is yet to open its flowers. By the way did you mean torquatus "stripey" a Robin White selection I think?
