Hepatica 2021

Just for fun, I was transplanting seedlings today when I noticed something weird on the double japonica I showed last year. It remained in the garage so the flowers are not fully open yet.

Amazing flowers Carsten!
Is Hep. nobilis 'Bergfexing' also a 'Supercentra'?

In my view, it is a supercentra type and worth a cultivar name.

[Carsten]

Thank you Carsten. The pink-rather violet maiden is very beautiful. You should obtain great seedlings from it!
Supercentra is a very good name for this type of flowers, rather than multipetals.

Because you asked about the pink nobilis multipetal - I am afraid the origin will remain unknown. The person who gave me the seeds answered: "name it and multiply it" He only remembers the seeds were from a blue multipetal from the garden (own cross, but the label is long gone). How come some flowered pink remains a mystery.

From the same batch, which had excellent germination, I have few more pots outdoors which will flower later, I am very curious about them.
With the name was easy, I named it 'Walter'; with the multiplying it will take some time.

I'am crossing like mad with this types ;-)
Thank you for your search about the multipetala form. So, go for seedlings of these plants ...

Your Hepaticas are very attractive.  I like the natural look of the flowers in the garden.

Hepatica nobilis "bergfexing" seedlings survived the brutal winter weather of Saskatoon. It may not flower this year but I am happy they survived. Thank you Carsten. These seedlings are from your seeds I got 2 years ago.

Herman, your multipetala group Hepatica is so pretty!

Kris, it is nice to see that snow has melted over there. My Hepaticas are still under snow:(, spring always comes so slowly here. Last night it was still -12C.

[Herman Mylemans]

Thank you Kris and Leena.

Hi Leena the snow hasn't melted completely. This particular seed bed is in an area where it gets lots of sun. We still have about a foot of snow in some place. Lots of my hepaticas are under snow now but the weather is warming slowly..

It's great to cross a lot when you have plants with good genes
Given the situation I doubt that my multipetals would come true from seeds, so I have to grow them well to be able to divide.

Beautiful garden display Herman.
Hepatica nobilis var. pyrenaica x japonica cross is particularly delightful.
