This hepatica japonica "Hakurin" refused to flower last year...  :-[

It seems to want to make up for this shortcoming this season...  ;D

Luc, if only a year's rest could do that much good to us all!  Had you given the plant more food to encourage it this year?

That would be a good thing, now wouldn't it, Maggi ??  ;D
Actually, it had been repotted the year before, with no flowering as a result - now after an other year it seems to have reestablished...  :D

That's interesting- I always puzzle in such circumstances if it is the disturbance that  has caused the lack of flower, or if it took a year for the nutrient level to drop sufficiently to encourage more flowers...... :-\

I have been admiring all Hepaticas.  They are just lovely!!

Luc, your Hakurin is something else with so many flowers!  In addition, look at all the buds waiting for their turn.

I bought a dozen plants including one Hakurin in December in Japan and brought them back to the US.  The plants were without soil for about 4 days since I had the plants and soil inspected 2 days prior to my departure date.  I repotted them as soon as I got back in the US.  I just checked to see how they are doing and found the Hakurin alive and well with 7 buds growing.  It was just a very short break, may be they did not notice or the timing was not bad.

I do not know wether I should start a new thread. I have forgotten where the original question was.
Anyway.
I have at last met my Japanese Hepatica friend in Kyoto and asked why they prune the roots.
He said that if you prune the roots at transplanting they are induced to form a large number of secondary roots which soon are more efficient han the pieces that were cut off. It is a little like pruning topiary shrubs.

Michael they are charming  - can you tell me ( I know it's tough at this time of year when there is not much strong sunlight  ;)) .... but do the pink ones like  Hepatica japonica white with a hint of pink and
Hepatica nobilis snow  storm fade as the  flowers age?
