Helleborus dumetorum?

Where did you take this photo?

I can add to the confusion by guessing viride.  It is difficult to see in the picture. A picture of one flowering stem and one leaf would help. If you put a piece of cardboard in the clump you can probably isolate a couple of stems so they are more clearly visibe.

I am inclined to agree with Gote though it is difficult to see the leaves clearly. Is this a wild  plant growing  in your garden or did you plant it yourself? If it is wild it most likely be H viridis ssp viridis a native of France (I think the only one)
