Hepatica 2009

[wolfgang vorig]

Hepatica Weekend at Mr. Hepatica Andreas Händel (www.hepatica-haendel.de).

some Hepaticas different from his nursery

Wolfgang, that is just simply impressive...

I wish we had a nursery like that in Belgium, although I think it would mean a big cut in my budget...

 But Wim, if you look at the website, Herr Händel has coffee and cake for his open days, so that is a saving, no? 


 Lovely plants.... and plenty of them!

[WimB]

Yes, Maggi, that would be a saving (coffee is quite expensive these days, as is cake ), just kidding, it is always nice to get a cup of coffee and his prices look very reasonably actually.

Although I might choke in the coffee if I want a "Prof. F. Hildebrandt" or a "Röttgesbütteler Röschen"

Then the coffee is to bring you back to life, Wim!!

Wofgang, I make You competition. The photos are from another show in Germany. Do you recognize this place?

[Maggi Young]

I have no idea where this place might be..... but I think I would very much have enjoyed a visit!

Wim,
One photo for you. Looking on this photo don't ruin your budget.

I wait till someone from Germans recognize it.

[Gerhard Raschun]

I´m not from Germany, but I believe it´s J. Peters nursery ?

Yes Gerhard, you are right. Were you on the show this year?

This Sakuma was for sale. I regret, that I didn't buy it. But I know, it was sold into good hands

[Gunilla]

I have had a wonderful weekend in Germany and I visited Jurgen Peters place in Uetersen.
I also visited Andreas Händel and his garden must be Hepatica Paradise. I'm just back after a very long drive and too tired to read what has been posted here the last days.  When I close my eyes all I see is hepaticas in all colours and shapes  but I am so happy

It`s a long way from the south of Austria to the nursery of J. Peters. So I haven`t ever seen his show.

There are only hardy Hepaticas in my collection, and I `ll show here the picts the next days, when all filled clones open their flowers.

Now you know, where look for this place, Maggi.
This photo is from 2006.

Gerhard, do you think, they aren't hardy?

We have some H. japonica in pots, if we have one from variety. If we have more, we plant them in the garden. They have good wintered under spruce's twigs or (flies ?).
I wait for your photos.
