My first semidouble seedling from own seed flowers this week.
A nobilis found semiplena
Nobilis semiplena from Kristensen's
Hepatica nobilis 'Bergfexing'
From Gunhild Poulsen's seed: 106N x 'Andersen's Dream', F2 seedling, very much like 'Andersen's Dream' but rose.
Very nice flowers . Gives me inspiration to try crossing.

The first finding is very nice Carsten. Does it have working parts?

Joakim, you need to cut the anthers to get some pollen from it. Not yet sure if the pollen is fertile, as I only grow the first seedling generation and the interesting part is probably the F2 seedlings.

Two hepatica from Yuzawa Engei last year which have grown well in the garden, both H. nobilis japonica seedlings.

A little bit of sun has brought out some more of our big pots.

Hepatica nobilis is a wonderful shade of blue. those we have in the garden struggle to put up one flower.

Hep. japonica HoHo Beni is just opening.

Hep. j. Toki has small double flowers and looks very sweet.

Hep. j. Ryougetsu has striped white/pink flowers.

Hepatica nobilis pygmy strain is quite a lot smaller than the others.

And finally Hep. japonica Blue Sandan. Yes I know I've posted it before but that was on the 17th February. Cool weather and a spot in the frame means it was still looking good yesterday.

All really lovely, Shelagh. I think my favourite is the simple blue nobilis, it’s such a pleasing blue with the contrasting stamens.

Some of our inter-specific hybrids are flowering now – I’ve had a lot of fun with these, aiming for certain combinations (not always succeeding - that would be boring).

Hepatica transsylvanica Lilacina x japonica Dryad Blush Group 5
Hepatica transsylvanica Lilacina x japonica Dryad Blush Group 10
Hepatica japonica petalloid seedling x pubescens Tenjinbai showing the hoped-for dark pistil
Hepatica Loddon Blue x pubescens Tenjin-umi showing the hoped-for dark centre
Hepatica maxima x nobilis Selma 4532-1-21 hoping for apricot flowers

Hepatica maxima x americana Ashwood Flare 4158-1-18

Hepatica maxima x nobilis white Tabby have nice apple blossomy flowers and pretty marbled leaves

These are hybrid seedlings from a white japonica with violet anthers and a white/blue pyrenaica.

Congratulation Shelag for these big plants. For me 'Blue Sandan' is the best!
Anne, thanks for posting your crosses. I like the last 2 with the big flowers!
Carsten, your plants are perfect, as always. Also the last one is my favourite!
