I did in fact post my pix but the post seems to have got lost in the stratosphere so here goes with today's pictures,possible due to a long period of warm sunshine in spite of the low temperature outside after -4 overnight.

1.  Hepatica japonica "Saichou"
2.        "           "           "        (close-up)
3.        "      yamatutai
4.        "     japonica "Benikanzan"
5.        "     nobilis alba
6.        "     pubescens (ex."Tenginbai")
7.        "     japonica raised from seed but the purest of white with pure white stamens and very light green stems and foliage
8.        "          "         "        "     " close-up showing the purity of white stamens

Superb yamatutoi, John (and the others, just that seemed extra special).  None of mine are anywhere near this state yet.

Superb is the word.

John, the Forum is experiencing problems due to server pressure at various times of the day. Maggi and the Team are aware and are trying to resolve it.

Thanks for that David,I was beginning to wonder whether it was me.

Dianne, the great majority of mine are some way off flowering,it is strange how they vary so much but it does help to spread the season out.

Thanks for that YT.All transferred to MY FAVOURITES BAR but how do I get closer other than a trip to Japan ?I was about to post my latest images but after seeing those I'm in a daze.

John, I only meant that to share those pictures with you and forum members. Please excuse me if you felt any negative aims by my previous post. I’m enjoying your hepatica pictures as well :)
