You’re right. The entire Hellebore Genus is toxic, and although I have multiple advanced degrees in Marketing, Business and Horticulture, I know for sure that I’m not smart enough to mess with that stuff.
Do you own/run a nursery or green houses? Although I used to go and collect the wild plants that nature did all the work on I love growing plants and have begun to shape up my little home garden in the past couple of years. It’s really enjoyable as an occupation or a preoccupation.
