Well it did come in a selection of Hellebores I bought last year - it looks so different from the rest I thought there had been some sort of mix up!
It's name is a bit off putting, don't you think Plocket

Does it flower or just stink? LOL ;D

Don't start worrying though - I've got some in my garden and the smell isn't really noticeable! www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/plant_pages/382.shtml

Will have to go have a look and smell. Are there other varieties that look very similar
