Gita, there are a number of similar double hellebores, so I'm not sure mine is the same as yours. But I have one called 'Party Dress'. Pictured below. I think there's a whole series of Party Dress hellebores.

As for hellebores with variegated foliage, I have one called Janet Starnes. I can't find a picture of it, but it has striking white variegation on the leaves. I don't know if this is universally true of white variegated hellebores or unique to Janet Starnes, but mine mildews horribly once it gets hot & humid. It's pretty when it comes up in the late winter/spring, but by mid-summer it's toast. Might be a consideration if you're in an area with humid summers.
