Hepatica 2014

[Gunilla]

  Thanks.

Some new seedlings flowering today.

1. H. nobilis, very dark pink/red form with dark marbled foliage.
2. H. nobilis, a difficult colour to describe, almost salmon pink.
3. H. nobilis pyrenaica
4. H. nobilis, blue and white, from Finland.

That Finnish beauty is gorgeous! As are your seedlings.
Indeed, many of the seedlings of forumists in this thread (Ian's!!) are really special and better than many a named cultivar, I feel.

The third is so cute

I love all Gunilla's Hepaticas.
Where from Finland is the last one, is it in cultivation?

[Gunilla]

Leena - It was found in Finland 2004 but I don't know where. The man who found it calls it "Finnish flag".  Photos of the original plant show that it has blue stripes and patches. I don't know if it still is in cultivation.  Mine is seed raised (2009). I have a few tiny seedlings but they grow very slowly and there is only one flower.   

A few more seedlings flowering today:

Thank you Gunilla, it is like Finnish flag, blue and white.
I have never heard of it's type here. We have some wild Hepatica nobilis in our woods (back of the house), there are different pink ones as well as blue, but i will have to look more carefully if there are striped ones.
Hepatica nobilis is still in bud here, but it will flower in April.

Colleagues, thank you for pleasure.

Lovely flowers, Gunilla and Natalia!

[Mavers]

The double blues are especially stunning.

You were right, Gunilla, the flower of H. n. 'Alba Plena' matured to white (with mud splatters from the last rain),

[Gunilla]

It is perfect! A little piece of art

[Maggi Young]

Hepatica nobilis var. acuta 'Louise Koehler' is a super plant and that first portrait is  soooo atmospheric

Lip smackingly, chin droolingly nice

Indeed!  An elegant diva!
