Hellebores

DSCF0050
Petals are the best thing about September around here; they stand out after a long winter like stars in the sky. My friend Kate brought me these hellebores the other day, aren't they gorgeous? They were growing under some trees at her house. 
Inspired by all the botanical goodness, I sewed up some new cushion covers for my shop.
I hope your September is going well so far. How about a bit of dramatic Australian music for today?

    Love the hellebores… they tie in nicely with the soft shades of the floral pillow covers – nice work : )

    I adore hellebores! I really hardly ever spying them in my hometown of Sydney, but now I’m in Paris I see them everywhere! And also some lovely cushion covers you’ve got there 🙂

    Petals are modified leaves that surround the reproductive parts of flowers. They are often brightly colored or unusually shaped to attract pollinators.
