First there was a wide pool of water with the floating heads of Hellebores, upturned to enjoy the sunshine. Garden gathered Anna’s Red, White Tutu and the original, purple Tutu, Winter Moonbeam, a few hybrids… then came the big freeze –

That is absolutely magical! I love hellebores but your photos of them under ice are uniquely beautiful.
Thank you – nature did all of the freezing, I just happened to pass by! Though I did float their little heads in there first – so I’ll take some creative credit!

Wow! That is amazing! They all look so perfect, still! It reminds me of the scene in Harry Potter when he is trapped under the ice. Have they defrosted yet? Would be interested to know how they look when they do.
Still frozen but a thaw on the way – maybe tomorrow and I’ll rephotograph them !
