I follow this wonderful blog because Dee's got the gardens of my dreams. Joyful and unpruned, always a new wall or border being built, and full of plants I've never heard of....
Hellebore? What kind of a name is that for a flower?
....or for a chicken for that matter?
I've named my chickens "Daisy" and "Fern"... I've known "Violet" and "Lily".
But really now. Hellebore?

Ha, I love your 'Hellebore' chicken! :D x
ReplyDeleteWell, a common name for hellebore is 'Christmas Rose', so you might like that better for a hen's name.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I rather fancy the idea of a black Australorp or the like named 'Hellebore'! But then I'd want one named 'Nightshade', too.
I think Hellebore is a cool name. Better than the rooster my grand named...pecker. She's only 4 and named him that because he pecks her shoes, but it causes him great distress in the chicken pen.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely have an uncommon talent for matching plant names to chickens. What breed would Clivia and Clethra be? How about Actaea Pachypoda?
