Beautiful Gunhild,

I like "Senka" and "Sekisyou" especially.

Amazing flowers, Gunhild.  The weather is terrible here at the moment but your photos cheered me up. Hope to see much more of your hepaticas next spring.

Thanks for posting your lovely photos, Gunhild, they do make the dull days without flowers brighter and I really like Sekisyou  8)

OMG! How do you keep these alive? I bought some years ago and have none now. Please tell us how you look after them

Thanks to all for positive comments. I have got a great deal of new japonica this year, and if you would like to see them you are welcome on my website www.gtpoulsen.dk

To Mark – You ask how I keep them alive – let me try to explain very short.
The first rule is a good drain. Rule no. 2 is a shady place from May to November.
And then proper fertilizer and water, and take care about fungus and other disease.
I grow japonica in my garden as well as in my greenhouse. In the garden I cover with a plastic box in winter. Don’t forget to make some holes for air circulation

If you want to know more about the procedure I use, you can see it on my website, the pages “how to grow” and “disease etc.”

A virtual tour around your garden is a real pleasure, Gunhild.  Your website is beautifully presented and easy to use with some fabulous plants and really interesting information, including growing tips.  I will certainly return to look around again and enjoy your photographs, thankyou.

Thank you for sharing your garden and plants. Here in Aberdeen weather hasn't been so good so there is nothing better than strolling around a amazing garden, you can see your 30 years of hard work have paid off and those hepaticas are so special
The garden fills me with enthusiasm, cant wait till spring to get out in my garden, I have seen some good ideas.

Amazing!  'Sekisyou' almost looks like a callianthemum!

Thank you to all for your kind words about my garden, website and Hepatica.
I think I shall add, that the way I grow Hepatica not is the “definitive truth” – there are lots of ways which can be just as good or better than mine, but my way works good for me.

Gunhild,
I see your collection of Hepaticas increase very quickly but they are wonderful.

Today we had surprise in the garden because my Prof. Hildebrand are blooming.

What is name of Hepatica in English?
