Helleborus in organic garden.

Despite names such as winter rose, Christmas rose and Lenten rose hellebores are not closely related to the rose family Rosaceae, many hellebore species are poisonous.

The Helleborus cyclophyllus

Helleborus cyclophyllus is a flowering perennial native to Albania, Greece, and Bulgaria, and environs. It is similar in appearance to other hellebores found in the Balkan region. It is acaulescent, meaning it lacks a stem with leaves, instead sending up a leafless flower stalk. The green leaves are palmate and basal, spreading at the ground. The flowers are green to yellow-green and 2 to 3 inches in diameter.
