could these be hellebores seedlings?

20 years ago

This is my plants second year in the ground. I was so pleased to see it in bloom for the first time, since it had already bloomed when I bought it and I am now waiting to see seeds.

The blooms were still in tact when I bought the plant, but had faded and accidently got broken off. I just left the broken pieces laying in the ground and later covered it with mulch. As my plant blooms now I notice some funny little seedings popping up around my plant. I don't notice these anywhere else. The leaves are long and rectangle looking. I don't know if these are weeds or hellebores.

The leaves on hellebore seedlings are roundish and serrated not long. They look like minny adult leaves but lighter in color.
Maybe next yet though -mine have produced a lot of babies.
Best regards, Diamondcil

I am glad you know! Yippee! Just wait for the first true leaves before you start moving them. These are just the cotyledons now.
