Here also the flowering season is going on:

Hepatica japonica 'Aozora' .
For me these flower has the darkest blue/purple from all of my plants. In combination with the white antheres it looks impressive.

All beautiful Mellifera, especially the 'Aozora' :)

Herman: there is also an article about crossing Hepaticas, if you are interested.
It is a fun activity. Easy to do it with Hepatica grown in pots though. Last spring with the woods trails being closed in April, I 'played' in the garden with few plants.
But I went the easy way and I choose as 'mother plants' two maiden forms. Then I took few flowers from the 'father' plants and dabbed their anthers on the maidens.
I don't know if I've been successful but obtained few seeds.
Thank you Gabriela, I am going to try to make some crossings.

Beautiful Hepatica, Patrick. I had also ‘Maria Theresia’, but on the place were she stood  is nothing  to see. Probably  eaten by snails.

An exquisite Hepatica Mellifera.
Over in Europe, with so many Hepatica beautiful forms available, you must have a real problem when it comes with purchasing. I wouldn't know what to buy (first) :)

Today I had to split a crowded tray. 24 plants of a pyrenaica alba x 'Bolette' F2. One of the seedlings is a candidate for naming, for now it is just 1634-6.
Yesterday the flowers of this seedling were fully blossomed.

Carsten, this one is a real gem and certainly deserves a name.

Herman, I hope they are growing well for you. I planted several of them in the garden in Oktober and even in November last year and they all start to bloom these days - and we had severe frost this winter!

Nice that you got this special double Carsten. Interesting form and colour.
Lucky genetic and good growing!
Hope G poulsen has seen how lovely offspring she crossed.
Hope there might be even more surprises to come!

Yes, she knows about this plant ;-)
Fingers crossed that there is more to see in Hepatica nobilis forms in coming years ...
