Stunning in the Shade

Here are a couple pics of my helleborus. I like this perennial in the backyard, especially since it is almost ALL shade back there, and I can't get much going there.

Or else we have rabbits who selectively eat pretty flowers that I try to get established, like black eyed susans.

It has rich, dark green-colored leaves, kind of shiny like rhododendron leaves. The blooms are very unique -- greenish white. So they blend in with the color of the plant overall. These pics were taken in shade, so they'd be even prettier in a sunny setting!
