Figures they first appeared in English gardens.

Sure, but Poisonous Hellebore & the Sunshine Strain once played the Fillmore East, right?
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | March 26, 2005 at 06:20 AM
As I recall they opened for Lobster Intelligence

Fear and Loathing in English Gardens.
Posted by: golfwidow | March 26, 2005 at 06:34 AM
...a violent cathartic herb given to children to expel the worms.
See!? Those worms are showing up EVERYWHERE! The cops shouldn't have too much trouble finding them... dumb cops.
And shouldn't the Washington State Gov't used these to expel their worms?
...and another thought (ok, then I'll quit - promise) shouldn't the fish and chicks drape these around them? Protection from deer.
...see how His Daveness ties all this together... smart? huh?

Bangi,

Posted by: julietine | March 26, 2005 at 06:37 AM
There's an English Gardens in Munich Germany .... don't remember any Fear and Loathing there.
Though in the summer there was allot of nudity.

Hi Ely...

Hellebore is an an essential ingredient in charms against evil psychic forces. So is periwinkle. This thread has made you all safe for today. Just to be extra sure, maybe you should all check for dragons in your undies.

"Greenbrier County features a 6-acre hillside filled with 68,000 mature, blooming hellebores in mid-March. The Web site says booked tours are a possibility."
Refreshments will be served, including hellebore pie and refreshingly zesty hellebore iced tea. An attorney will also be present at the refreshment table to assist with the preparation of wills.

*hopes it doesn't start breathing fire!*
Eww, that'll be scorched undies....

*decides to keep fire extinguisher near by*
Posted by: kibby F5� | March 26, 2005 at 07:12 AM
the article also says that they keep away the deer, after learning what deer eat (darn near everything, it turns out) ,a garden filled with poisonous plants seems a small price to pay!
Posted by: insomniac | March 26, 2005 at 07:19 AM
Today Barry's Sunshine Farm and Gardens is home to 50,000 stock flowering plants that are a sight to behold in bloom.
So that's what Dave has been doing on his "sabbatical."
Interestingly, "Hellebore" is how I've described some blind dates.
Posted by: slyeyes | March 26, 2005 at 08:18 AM
However, I don't think my dates had fun, either, as I saw them trying to sneak away by walking on two arms while pretending to be a bunch of algae.
Posted by: slyeyes | March 26, 2005 at 08:20 AM
I've been there too Jeff - on a state holiday - the nudity came as quite a shock! Did you go to the Beer Garden and see the Liederhosen men playing the accordian, etc and did you use a giant pretzel as a tray for your bratwurst!
*good memories*

So the blog is educational now? Cool.
Things I've learned this week:
Octopi would make great cartoon characters.
Lobsters are almost as smart as giant squid.
The ancient Greeks would poison almost anything.
Deer will eat almost anything.
...and so will people.

My office was just outside the entrance to the Chineese Tower (Turin). Many times we had lunch or vendor meetings there.
Ah, Good times...

You shouldn't have a girlie group called Hell's Belles and not include elle. I mean, you can't even spell Hellebore (which wbagnfa first CD) without elle.
elle?

Thanks Dave!!!
I have hellebores all through my garden--Now if I can just get the crazy lady and her cats next door to enjoy them life would be grand!
Posted by: Mary Mary Quite Contrary | March 26, 2005 at 03:23 PM
Just what we need more poisonous plants.
Posted by: opiesgirl | March 26, 2005 at 05:40 PM
Boy, obviously no gardeners posting here! Has anyone actually seen the Hellebores on the Sunshine Farm Web site? They've bred some truly drop-dead gorgeous flowers.
