Helleborus orientalis

Helleborus orientalis 'Pink Lady'

This plant is sometimes referred to as the Lenten Rose.  It’s a perennial that’s been around since the middle ages.  I have four of these in different colors.  ‘Blue Lady’ (shown below), ‘Yellow Lady’ and ‘White Lady’ are the other three shades.
