Though the Greeks called me a poison
And my name does rhyme with lore
There's a region on the planet
Where I'm blooming in the snow.
If it rhymes with snow...
And, blossoms all aglow...
And, if it rhymes with lore...
So, 'tis along the shore... .-Link- ...
Get it ?... snow..→..flake ... :oldlaugh:

Said deer was dispatched as well as launched at what was certainly terminal velocity... I'm loosing my focus here, back to the riddle.
The problem I'm having with the clue is, well Hellebore grows all over the world.o_O
