Michael and Chris Beautiful plants/flowers. It's still early here in Denmark and only a few Hepatica have flowers. Hepatica nobilis 'Ydun' is one of my own double nobilis cross.


       Hepatica nobilis 'Ydun'
   

I've never heard of this clone, where was it found ?

Will soon show some new H. nobilis, for flowering it need some further days.....

Gerhard; Hepatica nobilis "Ydun" is a cross as I made in 2010 and I made a few other double forms from seeds, all nobilis. You can see a picture as I posted last year to the forum; http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=8461.165
One of them is pink and I gave it my yongest dauthers name "Cecilie" The first blue got my oldest dauthers name "Camilla" some of them I gave mythological gods name, one of them is Hepatica nobilis "Ydun" You can also see some of them on my homepage: http://kalle-k.dk/Mine%20egne%20Hepatica%20krydsninger-My%20own%20Hepatica%20cross.htm

@Karl

 I have seen filled ( with a few pollen )flowers from a German grower in Potsdam. Probably he has reached them in F2 :

A multipetaloid form crossed with pollen of a filled form with rests of pollen. The cross looks like a usual form, but carries the genes. This result crossed again with a fertile filled form should give a small percentage of filled plants !

Is it a mysterie to hear about your experiance to get filled results ( in F1 or F2 ) ?

congratulation for your great work !

I really like Chris's 'Ginrin' too Luc.

How many years has it taken for them to bloom Chris?

Yesterday there was a beautiful sunshine and several Hepatica open the flowers in the greenhouse.

And some more. It is still early, I think if we got sun there will come several in the next 14 days.

I just hate opening up this thread. So much flowers that I would love to have.
There hasn't been one plant shown on here that I wouldn't mind having.
Thanks for sharing these stunning little flowers. They are just little gems.

Karl, can you tell something more about Hepatica euroasatica? Is this a hybrid?

[David Nicholson]

Absolutely beautiful plants Karl, I could really get hooked.

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Wow  - impressive fireworks, Karl !  Fantastic !

I have just two to add : 

1 & 2 : Hep. japonica "Hana-no-Nami
3 : first flowering opening on the glistening Hepatica x "Millstream Merlin"

You're not helping me Luc

[Luc Gilgemyn]

I wouldn't know why I would, David...

Marlene Ahlburg made some very beautiful crossings between H.pubescens 'Tenjinbai' and H. transsilvanica. They are called x euroasiatica. Karl shows, after my oppinion, the best of them, but another (same cros) is 'Röttgebütteler Röschen'. They are infertile.
Last year I visit Marlen Ahlburg. I was very happy for this meeting and we had a very interesting, and for me, very instructive talk.

You are right Gerhard it is the way to make filled flowers from seed. These two nobilis are F2 plants made from seeds.
