Hepatica

[Joakim B]

I aggre it would be very nice to have all the pics in a more ordered structure.
I very fine offer from Mark I must say. I do not want to say anything against such a nice offer but ....
Maybe an alternative could be the photogallery at the main web page. They have only three hepatica pics there.

Kind regards
Joakim

Lovely pics all!!

Chris, the 'Hakurin' is simple, yet stunning.  Beautiful.

Ian, those silver leaves are glorious.  Much more in the way of markings than I've seen before.  I love the Hepatica leaves even when not in flower, but those are even more impressive.

Great stuff everyone!!

Should I re-pot these Hepatica seedlings, or is it better to leave them undisturbed for another year?

[chris]

hello Rob, if these where my Hepaticas than I will re-pot them because the mosses will overgrow your seedlings, if you leave them than I sugest to remove the mosses,

an eating fork works well

[Rob]

I have repotted the Hepatica seedlings this morning. I wanted to see their roots, otherwise I would have just used a fork to get rid of the moss.

The first photo shows nine little hepaticas, and the second shows their house for the winter.

When I win the lottery I will get an alpine house like the one Chris built.

They look good. I must go and check on mine

This is the first time I try to send a message to the Hepatica forum, and I would like to show you one of my Hepatica japonica which flowers just now.
Maybe it does not look quite the same as when it flowers in spring, but I think it's beatiful.
It's 'Tentyou'

Welcome to the Forum Gunhild that is a lovely Hepatica. You also have a very lovely garden, and with the added advantage of being an Auricula lover.

Hi to all, I have many Hepatica seedling some which are quite well established so we pot these up now and we also have many small seedlings these we simply potted into a bigger pot without disturbance with some good fresh compost, this was done in Sept. the seedlings now look very green and healthy so we will pot these up in spring. cheers Ian the Christie kind

[Gunhild Poulsen]

Thank you for your welcome and the fine words about my garden.
Honesly the Auriculas mostly are my husbonds, but I enjoy them to.

helo Gunhild, it is fine to have you on the forum, I'm happy to have your adress back two months ago I have a computercrash (forgot to cut the power when there was a thunderstorm) and lost many of my contacts, it is a nice flower your H.'Tentyou'.
Rob, you dont have to win the lottery to build a alpine house like mine the most expensive on mine where the screwbolds,
I try to pot up my young seedlings in from september to november because the roots start to grow  from september on

I thought I would also point out this event here - Maggi has posted the details in the Events topic at
http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=974.0 or you can see the details at the end of my Log number 8 at
http://www.srgc.org.uk/wisley/2007/071107/log.html

We hope this will be a great event for those who love Hepatica. We chose the time we hope that many will be flowering - but are worried in case they come too early or too late!! - Hepatica don't take very well to "forcing" or other manipulations of flowering time. All being well there should be lots to see. We were fortunate to inherit the well known Schlieter collection from Sweden after the sad death of this respected breeder. And we have a superb collection of the special Japanese forms after a benefactor donated many of these  All will be on display. Come and enjoy! - but for those who can't be with us, I'll be sure to take lot's of photos and write it all up in the log.
