[Gunilla]

And this is mine from last year.  It has not started to flower yet.

H. media x 'Ballardii'
H. media 'Ballardii' leaves

[Lvandelft]

I am no Hepatica specialist but i got these from a colleage and its doing very well in my garden!
Dont know the cultivars name sorry.
regards Gerard

Gerard, if you got it from a Dutch nurseryman it might be Jan Huisman's Hepatica transsilvanica Blue Jewel?
Your plant looks very good BTW

[Gerard Oud]

Yes its from Jan Huisman but i got it several years ago and forgot the name. If it was a snowdrop i would not have forgotten it
If someone wants to have a part, i would like to swap for snowdrops

[Gerry]

Thats the 'Ballardii' that I have. The other plant seems more blowsy.

Started blooming of Hepaticas in greenhouse. I have only very few.
The first I'm growing as DOUBLE BLUE, may be it is cv. Valter Otto
Following three are selected from wild in Latvia by Juris Egle, famous tulip breeder
Alba
Lieliskā
Raibā
and last H. transsylvanica Alba

Sorry, correction. After communication with Juris Egle I understood that there must be some mistake on label. His white hepatica is different from shown here. Some mystery for me.

This beautiful Hepatica nobilis (?) flowers now. May be someone can help me with it's name?

Looks like perfectly normal nobilis to me (not seing any leaf). In a few days my forest will be full of them

Anthers are different from our usual wild H. nobilis.

I have noticed some variation in anther colour in wild growing Hepatica here.
Your white transsilvanica is lovely. Does it have coloured anthers?

1,2  show plants growing at the same place. Sorry about the lousy quality, the pictures were taken on a very windy day on a hillside not far from here.
3. dark H. nobilis in my garden.
4. H. transsilvanica white
5. H. transsilvanica 'Eisvogel
6. H. transsilvanica 'Supernova' with very blue filaments and connectives

[Janis Ruksans]

I didn't note such anthers on my nobilis, but very similar has my transsylvanica alba, too.

Today a few flowers on the hepatica I have as H. transsilvanica Blue Jewel.  I think the flowers look similar to yours, Gerard.  It's the first year it flowers with me but I hope that it in time it will grow as magnificent as yours. .

Our spring has been very slow this year and will be compressed into a few weeks when it fully arrives.
Hepatica 'Louise Koehler' and a blue seedling both presently in bloom.
