Hellebores Beginning to Bloom

More early spring flowers are beginning to bloom in our yard. (The first were Scillas that emerge in my front Hosta bed, before the Hostas come out.)

Now the Hellebores are beginning to bloom. I wish I could say I love them, but they are always a bit of a disappointment... Low-lying, they seem to bloom downwards! With their light color, they don't stand out, either. I really have to search to find them!

Maybe I need to investigate some of the more colorful ones I see online. I wonder if they would survive in our Zone 5 garden area.
