Day 141: Hellebore is a child of two worlds, a flower of transition which binds together the seasons of winter and spring. It lifts its head above the snow undaunted, its color a welcome contrast to the stark, harsh landscape of frost and ice. Its nodding flowers are unproud, unlike the daffodils whose upright, brazen faces dare the elements of weather, and in that habit is the key to its survival. It is both beautiful and humble, a plant of lesson and moral for humankind.
