Brachycome (Swan river daisy) and the foliage on the front row near the cimicifuga is a double
flowered Hellebore.
Not exact matches

i think i wrote in a previous post that the
hellebores were the first
flowers to start blooming in our garden this winter but, i miswrote
The
flowers in the venue, buttonholes and in the bouquets were made up of dark tones / colours of ranunculus, anemones,
hellebore, roses, berried ivy and lots of green texture foliage.
The
flowers on the left are called
hellebores or «Christmas Rose».
Love all your live
flowers, especially the
hellebores.
However, while it would not be unusual to see these beautiful low - level - growing plants in
flower at Christmas time or even during Lent, the
hellebore is not, in fact, a rose.

hellebore's moment of
flowering glory is also its bane, for who has not, at some point, referred to Helleborus niger or Helleborus orientalis as a Christmas or Lenten rose?
