                                Hellebores, including the popular “Christmas Rose” and “Lenten Rose,” are members of the highly toxic buttercup family, Ranunculaceae, and should never be consumed. Contrary to how their beautiful appearance might suggest, the hellebore flowers are not edible and are in fact, highly poisonous.
