One of the first plants which flowers late winter. We can meet it on slopes, dry land and limestones.
Helleborus foetidus, known variously as Stinking hellebore, Dungwort, or Bear's foot, is a member of the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, native to western Europe, from England south to Portugal, and east to Germany and Italy.
It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 80 cm tall and 100cm across, with a thick succulent stem and evergreen glossy leaves. All parts of the plant are poisonous, containing glycosides.
Photo taken without tripod, but I leaned my arm on the rock.
--------------------------------------------------------
C’est une des premières plantes à fleurir en fin d’hiver. Nous pouvons la croiser sur les talus, dans les terrains secs et calcaires.
L'hellébore fétide ou pied de Griffon, rose de serpent (Helleborus foetidus L.) est une plante vivace de la famille des Ranunculaceae et du genre Helleborus. Plante vivace de 0,3 à 1 mètre à tige robuste, glabre. Feuilles toutes caulinaires, vert foncé, composées de 7 à 11 folioles (feuille pédalée) ; bractées ovales, vert pâle. Elle fleurit de janvier à avril. Toutes les parties de la plante sont toxiques ; elle contient des glycosides.
Photo prise sans trépied, mais je me suis appuyée le bras contre le rocher. |

Beautiful photo of Helleborus. Good sharpness and composition. This species isn't native in my country, but I know it from botanical garden.
