A Botanist’s View of Local Flora – False Hellebore

This plant has fascinated me for as long as I can remember. Hiking in the subalpine meadows at Huckleberry Gap and those near Rabbit Ears, the large patches of these stately plants, growing up to six feet ,stood out with their large pleated leaves clasping the central stem. I have photographed them from every angle searching for a perfect shot. So, every year that I can get away I seek out the plants and settle down with my camera. One day I will achieve perfection.
