These are mostly all grown from my own seed and are prdominantly nobilis pyrenaica which are destined to be planted outside where they seem to flourish.

John, your hepatica house is wonderful  :o. I especially like the pale pink pyrenaica, they are so sweet. The white cherry blossoms match perfectly.

Utterly beautiful John.

I'm with you Angie......  I couldn't leave the greenhouse either if I had a display like that.

The few hepaticas I have I pick up & study & I tell them how beautiful they are!!

I'm not mad honest!! ;)

Some lovely pink forms of pyrenaica there John. I presume you are several generations into a breeding programme to get deep pinks like that?
The powder blue double japonicas - are they from your own seed raising?

Peter,The closest I come to a breeding programme is to stick red labels into the pot of anything that I think is outstanding and collect it's seed for sowing.All the pollination is done naturally.
The powder blue was the exception,I couldn't recall it's name.
