A blooming Helleborus niger in my garden. The photo can use a bit of adjustment.

It's also known as the Christmas Rose. Did a search (wiki) and they say it's quite poisonous too. I could enhance it, but it's Halloween and I might get a bit over the top so I'll refrain, Ella. lol

Thank you all for editing the photo.

Diego, the petals look like paper, fairy-like, delicate and beautiful.It looks like the sun was shining. Although it's a dark and rainy day here.

The adaptation of Nidhogg approaches the reality of how they are now. I like it very much.

But the most beautiful result I think is the one from David. This is how the flowers look when they are not soaked from the last few days of heavy rain.
David, you removed the mud splashes but left the little spider on top of the right petal :) I love that :heart

lylejk, yes it is a Christmas rose (Kerstroos in Dutch) but I didn't know if that was the correct English name. And I'm surprised it already blooms.
I didn't know they are very poisonous, but I don't have the intention to eat them :lol And I don't have any pets.

I've downloaded them all :hi5
