This Helleborus orientalis was one I came across in Longford park, mid-March. These perennials were deliberately planted, in a long planter of various other shade tolerant perennials and shrubs. The intentional planting of these plants becomes more evident with the convenient location of the large hedgerow behind blocking out sunlight.
The Helleborus blossoms with an elegant flower, which means they are often used ornamentally. The plant is surrounded by a constructed garden, with a clear geometric division of the space. This geometric pattern further demonstrates the intention of being an ornamental garden.

I particularly love how you have captured this helleborus orientalis. They are one of my favourite shade perennials.
