Hepatica nobilis in our forests

[Natalia]

Axel, thanks - are very interesting!
Concerning a painting and selection of young plants on a flowers - in the first years color can change. Sometimes the present beauty of a plant appears only when 3-5 sockets rise. For example my friend has found young plant Hepatica with white colors. In two years the plant looked absolutely differently - became a plant-chameleon with the blue ends of lobes. So the present color can change as towards a traditional painting of colors, and aside more interesting paintings.

I in a photoarchive have photos of this plant Hepatica at different age - will try to find and show.

I am sorry that not at once has answered

Spring this year is like a flash - started and went in a moment ... Two weeks flourished all that is usually blooming for over a month.
  Hepatica were no exception. But despite the heat, the selections are well blooming in our gardens, and they were joined by new finds.

So nice forms and colours, Natalia !

So many nice forms-- I love all the single and semi-double ones! I'm still looking forward to having some Hepatica of any colour...lol (I have only some very small seedlings of one type

[WimB]

Wonderful Natali!

I love the big "Plena" form especially!

[Melvyn Jope]

Lovely plants Natalia, many thanks for showing us, especially the variation in the double blues!

[Hoy]

Although the double forms are very spectacular I prefere the single ones
You certainly have spotted many interesting forms, Natalia. Do they all grow in the same population?

Here is some plants from a population I know of. It also contains some white ones.

The different colours look wonderful together, Hoy.
Natalia, are these wild finds, or your own seedlings? They are very beautiful.

[Natalia]

Тhank you colleagues, I am very pleasant!

Hoy, in your forest grow beautiful Hepatica!
All double forms grow in one population, in two places. Other forms  - from different populations...
 In the nearest to our city Hepatca populations is practically most east places of its growth - bright blue plants dominate. But this year I managed to find there plants with white a flower and pink stamens and some plants with completely white flowers.
The farther to the west place of growing Hepatica, the more in populations of pink-flowers and white-flowers plants, and is more variations of color and shape of petals.

Anne, thank you.
This is not a selection, it forms found in the wild.

[Natalia]

New season, new places, and new discoveries Hepatica.

[Natalia]

Natalia, the Hepatica look wonderful, especially the new plena form.

[annew]
