Hepatica - Leberblümchen 2023

[Herman Mylemans]

Herman (Attachment Link) , your Picture Sternenglanz, you see the Seedling in the Center?!

Arthur, you have sharp eyes. There are indeed seedlings in his area, but I think they come from Hepatica transsilvanica 'Schwanensee' which is half a meter away. This one does give a lot of seed. Ants do their job. Anyway, I'll keep an eye on the seedlings.

Hepatica nobilis plena (Gotland)

Hepatica nobilis var. pyrenaica x japonica

Both are excellent plants, Herman!

Thank you Carsten. They are indeed very good garden plants.

[Leena]

Herman, really wonderful clumps of Hepaticas.

Thank you Leena, it's just a pity that it was so much rain in March. Next week it will be drier and more sunshine.

very nice Hepatica plants Herman specially the blue flora plena

[Gabriela]

Your large clumps never disappoint Herman! Nice to see so many beautiful Hepatica in flower.
Spring is slow to arrive here and mostly cloudy, not very inducing for flowering.

[Herman Mylemans]

Gabriela, not all Hepatica's are growing so well.
Hepatica 'Millstream Merlin' is increasing very slowly.

Hepatica 'Millstream Merlin' is increasing very slowly.

That's too bad, I've seen pictures with nice clumps of  'Millstream Merlin'; maybe try to move it in another spot?

[Gabriela]

Hepatica season is almost starting here and due to a sudden raise in temperature more flowers will open.
H. japonica seem to always be the first, especially the one receiving more sun and H. transsilvanica.
H. japonica, no name done from seeds, planted in the ground.




H. transsilvanica ex. 'Winterfreude' was flowering for a while. I don't get many flowers on my H. transsilvanica, don't know why.


A first seedling of H. americana flowered today

[Leena]

Gabriela, it is nice to see H.japonica doing well also in ground over there. Very nice dark one and nice multipeltal one.
Also here H.japonica is in bud, and the first native H.nobilis opened  in a sunny slope.

[Gabriela]

Thank you Leena. Yes, as far as I can tell all H. japonica planted in the ground are doing well for now.
The summer-like temperatures will hurry up the flowering on all Hepatica, and then the cold will return, as always....

Poor flowering and slowly increasing Millstream Merlin and transivanica: give them more sun!
