A salmon color H. japonica

The patterned leaves forms are usually among the first to flower (they were very slow to grow and increase from seeds)

Gabriela, very special colours, it is a pity that it is not Hepatica nobilis.

Hepatica maxima 'Red Max' is a sterile plant, I got it under this name. I think it should be Hepatica x schlyteri 'Red Max'. The only information that I found about 'Red Max' is Hepatica x schlyteri 'Red Max', coming from H. maxima x H. nobilis 'Rubra', this cross is made by Robin White in 2005.

Thank you Carsten. Do you know where 'Topaz Star' was found?
Hermann, I like 'Red Max'. Can you maybe make another photo, where we can see the truth red..?

Here are a few handselected namless clones from a specimen of Japanese. Unfortunately he had to sell all his plants.
I think his best 18 clones comes to collectors in europe.

Here are a few of them, which are in my collection.

Gabriela, salmonlike colour shades are so special. I like them very much. Absolutlely right! Growing from seed with Hepaticas is so much fun and easy when you are a bit patient. Keep crossing ;-)

I didn't know people are so taken over the salmon colored Hepatica Carsten. I will name it 'Chinook' :), just for myself.
All the H. japonica I show were grown from seeds gifted to me and I can tell that they were from garden cultivated mother plants (in Europe), therefore open pollinated. This shows again what a 'lottery' it is most often regarding the offspring.

Hepatica nobilis 'Rubra' and Galanthus nivalis


They look perfect together Herman :)

Yes, if Red Max is a cross between the 2 species shouldn't be named H. maxima 'Red Max'; it doesn't look quite red, but depends on the camera, sometime the red is hard to capture.

They are all beautiful Mellifera. It probably happens with other plant collections when the owners cannot care for them anymore. It is too bad, maybe some of the clones are also lost.
I wonder if they have in Japon a National Hepatica Collection or something similar.

Very nice Herman.

I have attached a picture from my garden taken last May. Right now all my hepaticas are under 2 feet of snow. Unlike yours when the plants emerge in May most leaves are destroyed by the very cold weather.
