Hepatica 2021

[Gabriela]

Some Hepatica nobilis var. pyrenaica in the garden.

Hepatica x schlyteri and a media in the garden.

A great Hepatica show Carsten! Sunny spring days with Hepatica flowers - the best of the best
The third picture (white flowers) it looks a lot like a H. acutiloba on a superficial look.

[Gabriela]

Here the hepatica saison is slowly coming to an end.
I have a few beautys, which I'd like to show you.

Very interesting forms Mellifera, thanks for showing. The dark red japonica is special.

[Gabriela]

Gabriela, thank you for posting the picture of the dimensions of H.acutiloba.

Here the season is slowly starting when snow is melting. H.pubescens ex 'Hohobeni' had well advanced buds when the snow melted. This picture is from yesterday, today it has rained all day, and more snow melts.

We have to allow a bit of variation for the foliage Leena but in general is a good indicator.
What a happy sight to see the first Hepatica buds

[Gabriela]

We are back to minus temp. during night, so no new flowers.
But I can go back to admire foliage in the garage. H. nobilis  fo. crenatiloba' jewelry-like foliage.


Is Crenatiloba a cultivar (like I wrote it) or a form of H. nobilis? - changed it, thanks Herman.

[Herman Mylemans]

Carsten, thank you for these great pictures!

Hepatica nobilis 'Kyrvinberg'
It was found in 1956 in Norway on an island, called Hestholmen. There was an old farm named ,Kyrvinberg'. And there this blue filled plant has grown.

Hepatica nobilis Alba Plena 'Stockholm'
The plant was found near Stockholm (maybe from Schlyter). It has a lightly yellow touch in the flower.

Hepatica henryi Alba Plena full open with 3 flowers.

Hepatica nobilis 'Rote Glut' form Germany. A breded red filled form.

Hepatica japonica 'Shinku'
A dark red double flower without antheres. Maybe one of the best clones in europe..

Patrick, great Hepatica’s! Thank you for showing.

Gabriela, ‘Cremar’ is a cultivar but crenatiloba is a form!

[Joakim B]

Nice forms of Hepatica shown by so many

Gabriella glad that your answer to my question also helped others. Thanks for the info. The mid one will be the decisive one as others also have foliage with points of the edges of the foliage.
I will have a good look when the new foliage forms.

As I like plants it is not that important what it is as it is a good plant, but still it is fun to have a different type of Hepatica compared to our wild ones.

Rain here so no picture or indication of what other colours there will be.

Is transylvanica sensitive on how deep they are planted? I have a feeling my transylvanica came too deep in the soil and do not come back this year. They flowered well last year. I expected that hepaticas living in forests would make it less sensitive to having extra things on top of it.

Hepatica transsilvanica 'Elison Spence'

[Gabriela]

Gabriela, ‘Cremar’ is a cultivar but crenatiloba is a form!

Thanks Herman. I never been quite sure which is what because I've seen them written in all ways.

H. transsilvanica 'Elison Spence' looks to be at peak flowering

Gabriela, there are still buds that will come open.

[Roma]

I've never had a Hepatica nobilis with as many flowers open at one time as this blue one

[Roma]

A nice pink one.  I got it's parent or grandparent many years ago from Edrom.  I lost the original but found a seedling and have more self sown seedlings all identical to the parent.

[Herman Mylemans]

Roma, nice Hepatica's! Thank you for showing.

[Leena]

Today opened the first of H.pubescens ex 'Hohobeni'. So pretty:). It is interesting to notice that all H.pubescens have buds more developed at this time than any of H.japonicas (or H.nobilis).

Leena, nice pubescens! So the Hepatica’s are starting to flower in your garden. I look forward to see some more.
