Title: Two major hepatica exhibitions in Japan 2016
Post by: YT on January 08, 2016, 10:27:11 AM: The Japanese Hepatica Society organises two major annual hepatica exhibitions in Tokyo and Niigata, Japan. Both shows are free for entry and several plant stalls by specialist nurseries. Niigata is a city of regional centre located in hepatica's native area.

I’m not sure but someone will be in Japan for a business trip or a holiday at that time ::)

The yellow is quite simply outstanding!

These pictures remind me that I really must take better care of my own Hepatica and that I have some nice seedlings to pot on.

Yes, Matt. ‘Kirameki’ is one of the most vivid yellow varieties ever.

Post by: Maggi Young on March 02, 2016, 10:55:40 AM: The plants for sale are as varied and lovely as the ones in the show. I must admit I find the yellows absolutely captivating. Gorgeous plants.
