What a great day out, Tatsuo. I'm always amazed at the variety of flower form and colour in Hepatica. Some of them are beautiful, and others are truly bizarre. Some of the simpler ones are my favourites: 'Tou-kou' with it's delicate two-tone petals and 'unnamed 01' in palest yellow. However, I also like the more intricate centres of 'Yume-hanabi' and 'Ai-no-sanka'. There are so many plants for sale on the shop floor, as well as everything you could need to grow them. Did you come home with any new plants?

Thank you so much for sharing your day out, Tatsuo. Wonderful plants...that sales floor would be very unhealthy for my wallet I think...  ;)

I'm absolutely blown away YT. I had no idea that these colours existed in Hepatica. I love the green in Items for sale 18. I'll be reading up on this little genus later tonight. :)

Wow! What a fantastic photo report - astonishing for me to see the variety in these little plants.  I begin to  find them all fascinating- even the "crazier" forms!
For the exhibition they are all so beautifully presented - a delight to see and makes the show very attractive- even before those fabulous ceramics are added.

Thank you so much for sharing, Tatsuo - you have given us a real treat.
