Hi all, thanks for the superb pictures, I can hardly believe that you have so many flowers, ever under cover here we have not one showing any life yet.  I have a special request from my friend John Massey at Ashwood nursery has anyone got contacts in Scandinavia for Hepatica nobilis Gullmaj and H. nobilis Asker? it would be great to help John,  cheers Ian the Christie kind

Spectacular pics, everyone.  Some of the colours are amazing.  And those beautiful striped ones.    Thanks so much for showing us your treasures, particularly Michael and John.

I was pleased to find this colour variation amonst a 3ltr. pot of 3yr.old seedlings.Compare it to my last post of 'Tenginbai'.
The next one is a media hybrid 'Supernova' and finally Yamatutai at its peak.

Yes, good to see you, John.  My Ryougetsu came from Edrom last year and it's a very vigorous plant.  Yes, there's lots more to come.  Your yamatutoi is fantastic, mine are barely above the ground although they are sometimes first up.
