More to flower, no surprises with the first 2, which I named last year.
H. japonica 'Cerise'


H. japonica 'Cherry Blossoms'


Seedling from a 'red form', not really red but with a velvety appearance.

Red is lovely, it really looks velvety, and I like the dark anthers in the other ones.

Very attractive flowers Mellifera specially the dark purple double H. japonica
Yes, I also like it very much. For me the high quality is also the big flower and also big plant. Mostly the flowers are great in colour but tiny and also the habitus.

They are all beautiful Mellifera. It probably happens with other plant collections when the owners cannot care for them anymore. It is too bad, maybe some of the clones are also lost.
I wonder if they have in Japon a National Hepatica Collection or something similar.
I don´t think so Gabriela.
In this case the man emigrates to Brasil. I think there are minimum many decades in breeding work getting such plants.

Nice to see some Hepatica in flower. Gabriela, japonica’ s have beautiful colours. Here we have again nights with frost (-5°C). So the flowers  are slowed  down.

They all are very beautiful, Carsten!!
Can you make a photo from the last one, when the flower is more open?
For me the best one is the first I think..

Indeed Herman, the vivid colors make them very attractive, albeit, like Mellifera said, in some cases are very small.
The outside plants will not flower until mid April or so. The soil is frozen solid this year, so who know maybe even later.

Congratulations! your seedling is very special. I am very partial to the semi-double Hepatica flowers.

All are very beautiful, but a seedling you have grown yourself is always the most special especially when the result is so beautiful colour and form:).

Mellifera
Is your lovely one more in lilac then blue? It looks like that and that gives a nice different colour.

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

Interesting to see the children of both that one and Melliferas!

Still cold here so hepaticas are just waiting half ready
