It's a bit of a lottery with these offers Judith. I've never been tempted - I like to see what I'm getting, but whatever you buy should match the description given. Do what Verd suggests, and in the meantime, treat yourself to a couple from a reputable outlet
We have a good thread here too - it has a lot of recommendations of good online nurseries. I'll see if I can find it and bump it up for you to have a look.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Judith, if you want hellebores, you can't beat Ashwood nurseries at Kingswinford, west mids. If you are near, pick your own, if not, they will post, but large plants in flower do not come cheap.
I bought some doubles - I forget the name - and they did indeed take a couple of years to have double flowers. I felt that I had been cheated, but in fact, I haven't! They are now producing double babies.

I might do that Verdun. It was an offer in the Telegraph last year.
