Lovely Hepaticas, everyone!!

Chris, yours is so large and beautiful. 

I thought the Young's hepatica I saw in this week's Bulb Log was beautiful, also.

Just noticed your new website is up & running Janis.

It looks excellent.......I will enjoy it more this evening when I get home from the office.

I've spent way too much already this year on bulbs for delivery in the autumn............hope I'm not tempted too much when I scroll through your bulb list.

"Hepatica 2014" sounds like an exciting event.

Maybe I should consider switching my annual trip to attend Japanese Hepatica events next spring and instead head to Birmingham for this event?

Could anyone kindly give me the direction to find rules, requirements, practices, etc., for exporting plants from England?

This may be a good start for you , Koko:

Exports to non EU countries are  possible but the procedure is more complex, time consuming and expensive.
Export orders have to be inspected by an official of the UK Plant Health Dept.  who will, if satisfied, then issue a formal Phytosanitary Certificate which must accompany the plants to the overseas port of entry. Charges will be made for this.

For CITES plants:  http://www.defra.gov.uk/ahvla-en/imports-exports/cites/

A USA Plant Import Permit will be needed too -

"Ashwoods Nursery will deliver to Northern Ireland, European Union countries including Republic of Ireland, and other selected destinations. Some of these countries can now order from our on-line shop and delivery charges are clearly stated inthe ordering process.
Alternatively, if you are unable to use this facility or cannot see the plants or goods you are looking for, please enquire by telephone on 01384 401996 or email mailorder@ashwoodnurseries.com for a quotation"

Their charge for DEFRA inspection and phytocertificate for sending Hellebores mail-order to Japan is  £40 so I guess their fee to the USA will be similar.

Maggi,

Thank you for the information.  This is a very good start for me. 
If the process is too involved and costly, I will be more than happy to settle with just being able to attend the show.
I would particularly love to see various European Hepaticas.
