Just beautiful. What size lens and kind of lighting do you use. I just posted my orchids and can get nowhere near this beauty and quality. I really admire your work.

Gorgeous - somehow captures a hellebore perfectly and yet also looks ethereal, almost other worldly, like a flower I've never seen before...
I always recommend 'Josef Lemper' to my customers because here in PA (USA) it starts blooming in November unlike regular Christmas roses that start in March. I like 'Jacob' even better because it starts in October and the plant is more compact. Great photo.
Stunning! The crisp white and yellow are sublime!

Have a great day

Thanks, I must say I really enjoyed the shooting sessions with this helleborus and somehow it has reflected in the pictures.

Carolyn, This is my second year portraying helleborus, I think I am getting into the flower and I would like to explore others. I will use your suggestion for the "Jacob". Thanks, Lula

Gabriel, thank you! That is very sweet of you to say. Lula
I like the way this picture really gives us an essence of hellebore.

What a great capture! Beautiful huge blossom of Hellebore. They smell so good. I have them in my garden for so many years. Every garden should have one.
