Well, it might be a tobacco plant...I'm no expert. First plant/flower of the season from me.

Looks more like a Hellebore to me (where's @Rense Haveman when you need him! 
). Either way I love the soft glow of the flowers. Very effective.

Hellebore, eh? Interesting name...
The softness is a wee bit OTT, but I'm in a romantic mood

Here's Aladin! You speak his name, rub the lamp, and he appears....
And it's a Heleborus for sure. Don't ask me the exact species though, because there are many hybrids sold for gardens etc.....
Nice one, we have several in the garden. We call them 'Christmas Rose'

PS: probably a foetidus hybrid. Does it have green flowers, Rob?

Very light green.

Thanks, Rense. It is the same common name in England. In Scotland though it seems they try to smoke them!

I will warn my sister. She lives in Oban with her family.... Maybe it goes well with a Single Malt....

Christmas flower eh? I knew this photographer is a bit behind schedule. But he did fine in his romantic sphere.
