  3. Joy,

    Nice! Just canned a bunch of that for the next clay club.

  4. Joy,

    This is a perfect description:

    False hellebore grows on moist, open meadows and hillsides at elevations of 1500 to 4000 meters. It emerges as soon as snow melts in the spring. Flowers appear in July and August, and the plant produces seeds in September.
