I aggre it would be very nice to have all the pics in a more ordered structure.
I very fine offer from Mark I must say. I do not want to say anything against such a nice offer but ....
Maybe an alternative could be the photogallery at the main web page. They have only three hepatica pics there.

Kind regards

Lovely pics all!!

Chris, the 'Hakurin' is simple, yet stunning.  Beautiful.

Ian, those silver leaves are glorious.  Much more in the way of markings than I've seen before.  I love the Hepatica leaves even when not in flower, but those are even more impressive.

Great stuff everyone!!
Cheers.

Should I re-pot these Hepatica seedlings, or is it better to leave them undisturbed for another year?

hello Rob, if these where my Hepaticas than I will re-pot them because the mosses will overgrow your seedlings, if you leave them than I sugest to remove the mosses,

I have repotted the Hepatica seedlings this morning. I wanted to see their roots, otherwise I would have just used a fork to get rid of the moss.

The first photo shows nine little hepaticas, and the second shows their house for the winter.

When I win the lottery I will get an alpine house like the one Chris built.

This is the first time I try to send a message to the Hepatica forum, and I would like to show you one of my Hepatica japonica which flowers just now.
Maybe it does not look quite the same as when it flowers in spring, but I think it's beatiful.
It's 'Tentyou'

Welcome to the Forum Gunhild that is a lovely Hepatica. You also have a very lovely garden, and with the added advantage of being an Auricula lover.

Hepatica Spectacular at Wisley March 2008
« Reply #312 on: November 20, 2007, 05:38:44 PM »
I thought I would also point out this event here - Maggi has posted the details in the Events topic at
http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=974.0 or you can see the details at the end of my Log number 8 at
http://www.srgc.org.uk/wisley/2007/071107/log.html

We hope this will be a great event for those who love Hepatica. We chose the time we hope that many will be flowering - but are worried in case they come too early or too late!! - Hepatica don't take very well to "forcing" or other manipulations of flowering time. All being well there should be lots to see. We were fortunate to inherit the well known Schlieter collection from Sweden after the sad death of this respected breeder. And we have a superb collection of the special Japanese forms after a benefactor donated many of these  :) All will be on display. Come and enjoy! - but for those who can't be with us, I'll be sure to take lot's of photos and write it all up in the log.
