Oh my  word, the  gold  and the  (almost)  black !!! I thought  the  yellow  was  good  until I saw the  gold!   Fantastic.

We were able to visit the Yamakusa nursery near Saitama and were shown around kindly.

Carstens, thank you for sharing this beautiful pictures. To see such a show in real must be a great experience!
It seems that there is no end at the diversity of Hepatica Japonica.

Yes Maggi, never seen such golden tones before. And the almost black one witch was one of a seed strain called Kuroi houseki, black jewel was a clear buy

Yes, as well many thanks Carstens!
It is amazing to see what they are achieving with H. japonica. And, as Maggi said, also the pots are extremely attractive!

[Rick R.]

This is so incredible!

  And just when you think you've seen it all, then there is that last on with the lobed petals!

Thanks, Carstens !!!

Overwhelming Show! Impossible colours seems to be possible.

 Does someone know where this intense yellow and red comes from?
 Are there some wild variants with these colours?
