Very nicely done video! The Hellebore is a wonderful low maintenance plant that blooms and peaks just when we've forgotten what outdoor flowers look like. I appreciated all the detail and the pleasant journey on your video.

I enjoyed your informative and beautifully photographed video. Your voice is lovely! Thanks also for the down-to-earth advice about being aware of toxicity but not over-reacting. As you point out, animals usually stay away from bad tasting plants and are not harmed in any way. 9:52
