Gabriella, H. transsilvanica 'Sternenglanz' is from Andreas Händel.  I have grown it for many years but never seen any seeds on my plants so probably it is sterile.  On a close up photo you can see some "normal" anthers and pistils but that of course, doesn't mean it can produce fertile pollen or seeds.

Gunilla, very nice detail of 'Sternenglanz'. Andreas Händel told me, that it is sterile.

Carsten, then you probably have a lot of work making crosses!

First of all a reply to Patrick. Brian has measured the pot and its 22cm.

Secondly to Gabriela. We grow our Hepaticas for the show bench Gabriela so we don't split them. We take them to AGS and SRGC Shows in the spring. Unfortunately no shows this year and we only got to one last year. As we are getting older and more infirm we may not make any more Shows.

Yes, I remember seeing some of your prized show plants Shelagh. I understand it must be very difficult now for all people used to display their plants at shows.
But show them here :) we are happy to see them many times.

Thank you Gunilla. It looks even more beautiful up close :)
I looked at the translation and in English its name would be 'Starshine'.

Gunilla and Carsten, that's interesting! When I was looking at the images of H. transsilvanica 'Sternenglanz', I had been wondering if it could set seed or not...

Carsten, your greenhouse must smell wonderful right now! I really like your red and white Japanese Hepatica!

My early Hepatica acutiloba seedlings have just started to bloom. This seedling is from two white parents, but it has a nice soft pink color and the yellowish stamens are a good complement. Unfortunately it is very difficult to get pollen from them.

This seedling is very special and should be a good plant to cross/recross :-) I love the upright growth of acutiloba, something nobilis and japonica plants often miss.

Anne I don't think that one has ever been split. Brian took a couple of small pieces off H.j. Gyousei the other year but other than that we don't split them. Trouble is now we have difficulty lifting them.

Some seedlings of Hepatica pubescens 'Hohobeni' and one is already starting in the garden.
I have all these plants for swap if anyone is interested.
