Hepatica 2018

[Herman Mylemans]

Very nice Gunilla. It looks like 'Prickel'

[Leena]

@ Leena and Gabriela: I think it´s always worth to try the japonicas outside. They are quite tough and add so much beauty to a garden.

Thank you. There is so much more variability in H.japonica than in H.nobilis. Close by my H.japonicas I have native H.nobilis plants, maybe they will interbreed?
Gunilla, 'Bavarian Blue' is so different than any other I have seen!

Post # 52 showed Hep. jap. 'Shirayuki' covered with snow. Today a week later it looks like this ...

[Leena]

That is an amazing Hepatica! And also seems quite hardy.

Yesterdays pics from the greenhouse

An intensive rose nobilis that even does have a good marbled leaf.
Rote Glut - always difficult to capture the nearly red colour on a pic.
'Giselle', one of Andreas Händels cultivars.
'Bergfexing' is a generous gift of a very kind forumist - many thanks again!

... and Hepatica japonica 'Ryougestu II' now in full bloom.

Really beautiful Hepaticas.

[Herman Mylemans]

Beautiful Hepatica's Anne. The first flowering of new seedlings is always exciting!

Lovely Hepatica, everyone! I have been busy crossing and making records of my Japanese Hepatica but most of them are now past their prime for this year.

I made some crosses of my two H. acutiloba several years ago and I had one good result last year. This year, I have several nice flowers blooming and this is one of them.



The anthers won't produce pollen and the flowers are closer to a semi-double form.

[Leena]

That is a beautiful semidouble!

Peppa, maybe you should pollinate it with another acutiloba!
