Pictures for the year 2012 are here: http://arctangent.smugmug.com/Nature/Vegetation/2012-Gardens/23961658_HstTWN . . .They will be collected to this gallery at the end of the year.
This gallery is for photos of flowers found in outdoor domestic or public gardens, and of the garden settings in which I found them. Pictures of botanical gardens that are place specific, landscape type pictures are in my 'Places - by type' category http://arctangent.smugmug.com/Places-By-Type/Arboretums-and-Botanical )

Whenever I feel confident of the identify of a flower (as from an accompanying label in a botanical garden, etc.) I've included that information. If I'm clueless about the identify, I usually say so, and I solicit the viewers' help in correcting these deficiencies.

As of now, lilies, dahlias, and peonies have separate galleries, as do orchids (in the Cyber Conservatory). For other flower pictures, please visit my other galleries, of which the following are a few examples:

A green or 'white' variety of hellebore, common name Christmas Rose or Lenten Rose.
This resembles pictures of Helleborus odorus.  Hellebores can be hybridized, and without a tag I can't be sure of the species or hybrid or cultivar of this specimen.

Hellebore close-up.
Look closely and see that some of the anthers have opened, split, and produced pollen.  Others are still in the fused oval bean-like shape with a vertical groove.  They are intermingled with multiple stigmas

Macro of a hellebore flower.
Technically this is a pathetic picture.  I only kept it until (if ever) I can get a better one that shows the anthers in a very early stage of opening up from the tight cluster they're in when the flowers first open.

Nothing special.  Just a pretty clump of daffodils.

In several places along the road patches of this flower were in bloom.  I'm about 90% certain they're primula, which is a primarily a cultivated garden flower, not a wildflower,  in this part of the world.  Some patches were yellow, and some were a mix of reds, yellows, and oranges.  I think they must be naturalized escapes, or have been planted deliberately to brighten the springtime drive through the gardens.
