Hi members
I have an extensive collection of books regarding flowers and can not find any thing near resembling either.
The nearest i can get is a Pasquaflower, Pulsatilla vulgaris.

As for all the others you have mentioned i can not even find a resemblence to the flowers i have.
But thank you all anyway.

Hi Easy Beesy
Sorry but its definitely not Christmas rose.
What i think a lot of you are not taking into account is the leaf structure.

I do now think its a Hybrid from the Hellebores family.
If you look at the photo's then the Christmas rose is white petals. Lower photo.
Look at the hybrids Photo and the lower left would be as near as i could get.

Hellebore
We have lots of them, all different colours and hubby has just bought a "wild plant"
They are easy to propagate by dotting pollen on the open flowers so you get a mish mash of colours. Plant the seeds and they will flower in two years.
The bees absolutely love them.
Here's a red one

Hannah the Hellebore?

Seriously, Helleborus is the family. Colloquially there is a white variety called 'Christmas Rose' - Helleborus niger, it flowers at Christmas but the only link with true roses (Rosales) is that it has five petals. Other varieties are known as 'Lenten Rose', five petals and they flower in Lent, i.e. now. There are named varieties as listed by RHS but because they spread by seed most specimens in the garden are unnamed hybrids of several species rather than specific varieties, so generally Helleborus x hybridus

Your pants are safe

Your pants are safe

Thank goodness for that.

Definitely Hellebores: all manner of hybrid versions. Had our break between exams last Saturday beside a huge bed of them smothered in honey bees.
