While you may encounter a number of Hellebores, Lenten Rose plants on the Medford Campus, the easiest to spot and enjoy are the ones in the Atrium near the Reception Desk in the Community Building. Helleborus orientalis are not roses at all, instead they are perennial flowers that derived their name from the fact that the blooms resemble a rose. These plants often bloom during the Lent season. They make a wonderful addition to a shade garden, or naturalized area. In addition to the blooms in the Atrium, you will find them in Court 13.
