Yesterday was sunny here, and the Hepatica seemed to enjoy it!

Hepatica nobilis 'Rubra' enjoys the sun today.

Hepatica transsilvanica ‘Alba’ , but never a lot of flowers.

Hepatica nobilis var. pyrenaica 'Alba'

Hep. jap. 'Utyuu' is flowering

That's a very nice color mellifera, too bad you didn't have good sunlight exposure for the picture.

I have no luck with plants native to the Eastern U.S.A. or Japan.
Japan has a rainfall pattern opposite to mine - rainy summers and dry winters. It was so odd to see all the brown grass in the winter in Japan, and persimmons put along poles to dry in the sun.
I think the Eastern U.S.A. is similar, though I haven't been there except briefly in spring.

You forgot the Eastern Canada Diane

where H. americana and H. acutiloba are also native.
The climate is very different than yours, albeit with large differences depending how 'high' one would go on the map. In SW Ontario, springs and fall are very wet, summers usually dry and hot and winters depending: in the last years we get a lot of rain instead of snow.

So nice Peppa! I always like the look of various colored Hepatica grown together, they complement each other.

Good to see your Hepatica season is starting Herman!
From many years ago when hiking in the Carpathians I remember just occasional white flowered H. transsilvanica, I think they are not often found. I hope to do have the chance to do a spring scouting for H. transsilvanica at some point in the future.

H. nobilis var. pyrenaica remains a somewhat 'mystery' for me. I read that it is supposed to be a dwarf form of H. nobilis, yet many cultivars bearing the name look so vigorous.

I was able to take a picture with Hepatica foliage on one side where the sunlight reaches now

I don't remember which one, I planted many pots in the ground last summer, could be a japonica). But the soil is still solidly frozen and there is a lot of snow on the shaded sides.

Gabriela, pyyrenaica is not a dwarf form, but it is a bit more compact than nobilis. The leaves are marbled and stays smaller than normal nobilis. The connectives are yellow.
