There was a minor movement, lead by twickster, to get a Hellebore named after Uncle Cecil last summer. Has there been any new info, or this plan been abandoned? As nothing has been posted (at least nothing I could find) I am suspecting we won’t be able to purchase a Cecil Adams Hellebore™ any time soon.
And I really wanted one, too.

Never got anywhere with Barry, despite an in-person plea at last year’s Garden Writers’ gala.
Thanks for rubbing salt in the wounds of my humiliation. 
Well that kind of sucks. I’m sure Barry’s Hellebores are substandard and unworthy of the name Cecil Adams anyway.
Sorry 'bout the salt, I wasn’t rubbing, though, I was trying to brush it away from the wound. 
There is no humiliation in having tried valiantly. There is, perhaps, just a smidge of humiliation in approaching someone who so clearly was not worthy!
Bah! Who needs him?
Let’s see if we can get a star named after Cecil. 
They’re discovering new stuff every day…I saw we name a tree after Uncle Cecil!
