Thanks Ellen and Dan

I've never ordered from Chiltern seeds know nothing of their reputation but anyone ordering Helleborus niger on the strength of that picture would be bitterly disappointed. This is mis-representation. Pictures of H. niger can't be so hard to come by.

@ Lesley: Chiltern seeds normally offers very good quality seed, never had any problems with them. But the H. niger picture is indeed a big mis-representation.

Rareplants.de has A. albus, A. konjac, A. paeoniifolius, A. titanum and A. yunnanense

There were 2 seeds of A. titanum up for auction on E-Bay (closed today, I think).  Looked to be authentic to me.  I must look to see how much they went for.
