Hello Paul,

I know "akadama" because I use it for bonsaï. It is a natural granular clay mineral. It comes in different grades (depends on the hardness, the soft ones decompose after a year or two to something that looks like normal clay) And the good (hard) akadama is rather expensive.

Glad I asked, because I never would have guessed, that is for sure.  So basically you're talking 3 different sizes of gravel (or equivalent thereof)?

Not really because gravel does'nt hold water.Probably more akin to Perlite or Vermiculite.

I guess I should have scrolled down the page but I didn't see this section on Hepaticas.
I posted some photos of acutiloba in the wild on the General forum last weekend if anyone hasn't seen them yet.

Here are some of mine Hepatica nobilis  :) The 'Kurvinberg' came from Inderøy in Norway, and was found for 40 years ago.

Bjarne some very nice ones You found and a double!!!!! :o :o :o ;D ;D
That is not every day one see one of those.
Congratulation and thanks for sharing.
Nice to see the variation of the flowers. When I had the opportunity to look for hepaticas in the wild in Sweden the winter stated with snow so they looked a bit less good so to say.

Kind regards

A couple of Hepaticas from the garden to day. Both this plants are collected in Scandinavia, and are doing much better in my garden than any of the Japanese forms.

1 Hepatica nobilis 'Semiplena'. It have pollen and is a good plant for making new filled forms (about 5% filled forms from seed by using this plant)

2 Hepatica nobilis 'Flore Plena Alba'.

(Magnar; Is that Hepatica really yours.....you CandyKing ;D ;D )
