Carsten, Lollipop looks delicious, a real treat  :)

I found another dark japonica seedling in flower today. The pink H. transsilvanica 'Schwanensee' is there only for colour comparison.   

The nights are cold now and I will have to cover my cold frames.

Very nice seedling, Gunilla!
You may know one of the doubles ;-)  Thanks again!

Gabriela, pyyrenaica is not a dwarf form, but it is a bit more compact than nobilis. The leaves are marbled and stays smaller than normal nobilis. The connectives are yellow.

Thank you Herman, I was thinking about compact but I wrote dwarf....Anyway, the question would be what is a 'normal' nobilis size wise?
Your white form looks very nice with the very large flowers.

It seems that H. transsilvanica flowering is in full swing!

So many beauties Carsten! Like Gunilla says, Lollipop is delicious :)
Hepatica nobilis 'Dr. Ernst von Siemens' also looks very interesting.

We gave most of our big Hepaticas to friends when we decided we were unlikely to be exhibiting again. We have however a few small ones coming along.
1. Hepatica japonica blue close up
2. Hepatica japonica blue whole plant
3. Hepatica japonica deep pink
4. Hepatica nobilis pygmy strain

Thanks Herman, it came from Ashworth's nursery. I bought it for Brian a few years ago, you don't see many of them.

It is wonderful to see Hepaticas flowering so much already.
Beautiful japonicas Shelagh and Patrick, and Gunilla, your dark H.japonica is very nice.

Carsten, I loved all your Hepaticas, but these blue ones were especially nice to see. :)

Hepatica transsilvanica 'Elison Spence'

Hepatica transsilvanica 'Sternenglanz'

Two great H. transsilvanica cultivars Herman! or rather two of the greatest? :)
I noticed few flowers of 'Sternenglanz' are already done, it was bad weather lately? Do you know what is the story of this cv., was it a find in the wild or a lucky seedling?

Gabriela, good observation! Sternenglanz started indeed earlier to flower, but then the weather was too bad to take a picture (damaged flowers). Until now there are never many flowers at the same time (occurs with several transsilvanicas), but that I hope it gets better when the plant is older.
H. transsilvanica 'Sternenglanz' is originally from Andreas Händel, maybe Gunilla has more information.

Lovely shade of pale blue Herman. Don't think we've ever had a H. transsilvanica.

Every day new seedlings open their flowers for the first time. Always the most exciting part of the season.
One of them is a seedling of a F2 plant of pyrenaica alba x 'Bolette'. I liked the white single flower with a greenish and rose hint and it´s marbled leaves, so I decided to collect seed from this single flowering plant. There are some 20 other different seedlings out of the original crossing, all single in white, rose or blue and 'Lollipop' and three other filled plants resulted out of this crossing, too. I did not expect anything special, than a nice white single flower. There were only three seedlings and two were exactly like the motherplant, but one is semi filled and greenish - very special.

700996-1

And a step forward for my breeding program to produce a blue filled fleckled nobilis is a maiden form out of a crossing with 'Bavarian Blue' and a maiden Schlyter's form.
