It hasn't been a bad year for our Hepaticas except that they have all come together.  We are very lucky to have Kimihiko as a friend and quite a few of ours without a name have come from him as a couple of leaves packed in damp moss.  Here is the season to date.

The first one is a lovely double but a very untidy habit. The third one is another of Kimi's with a wonderful habit and masses of flower.

Hepaticas in the garden are in full bloom now. The japonicas grow well on a raised bed over deep drainage of pumice beside a single nobilis and 'Rosea Plena'.

In the greenhouse the season peak is over. One of the last to start flowering is Hepatica nob. var. acuta 'Louise Köhler', a real beauty. The third one is a Forest White.

One of the second year pyrenaica seedlings looks very different. I suppose some pollen of henryi was involved.
For me it´s a very satisfying outcome.
