Hepatica 2010

[Gerdk]

The flowers have gone here, but now the foliage is coming along.

Here's Hep. japonica x pyrenaica :

Both parents have striking leaf patterns - so has the hybrid!
Luc, was it your own cross?

Gunilla,
Your double red looks very much  like the one I received as originally found in Dalsland and subsequently distributed to many. It is a very strong grower and the most vigorous double I have grown.

I wonder where and how Ellison Spence originated. Transsylvanica is - I have been told - endemic to Hungary.

Cheers

PS
Mine are just starting.

Anyone got any info' about this new introduction from Scandinavia please?

Hepatica 'Dåre'

It is not a Hepatica. It is a Lirpa communis belonging to ranunculaceae (like some people I know - or is it theother way round??)
Cheers
Göte

PS
It is the staple food of the Belorussian costal muddler which can be seen at the Gothenburg zoological museum once a year.

All types and colours have great charm, do they not?

Sorry to be late replying Gerd.
Actually, it was not my own cross, it was bought as such !

Wolfgang, there are some beautiful flowers. I especially like 2117 which is a very nice shape.

Wolfgang,
Your 2117 has the widest petals I have ever seen on a nobilis.
This could be  the start of a new breed.

Two or three years ago I bought two Hepaticas labelled Hepatica nobilis pale pink at the local Garden centre.  I was intrigued by the size of the flowers and the fact that they appeared to have pink, white and blue in the same flower. 
The first one is an original.  The second one died or is not doing well, but pictured are seedlings from seeds which had  dropped into a neighbouring pot.

The light petal center of the bottom one is not unusual; especially on pink forms. The bluish tinge to the top pink is something I have not seen before.

Roma, lovely shape and colour.  I visited a place not far from here were hepaticas grow in abundance but did not find any with that wide petals nor did I see any white, red or pink forms.

One of the last to flower in my garden is H. nobilis 'Odette'

[annew]

A lovely full flower, Gunilla - is it named because of that?
