How cow!  What a spectacular collection of Hepatica...I never realized there were so many.  I know some of these fetch huge prices.

Oh Lordy...I'm in trouble now!! I am just in love with these plants after seeing those photos! I saw that Peter Joppe of Hillside Nursery in Mass. sells a few species including the japonica. I will have some for sale of his at the American Primrose Societies National Show at the end of April. Or maybe I won't have any for sale & will keep them for myself!!  Wink

Not only that, with the expense of these, where else would we even get to see them, except here and the SRGC forum!

Thanks so much Michael!

Nice leaf form on that second pic, Amy.  It's different from a five lobed form I have seen in Minnesota.

I think this is pretty typical of Hepatica americana flower form in northern Minnesota, although there is a lot of variation:

I have always been fascinated by liverworts ever since I was a little child and my mom and dad took me and my sister out in the woods to find and pick the very first "blueflowers" in the spring. Sometimes we found a red or a white one and that was very exiting. But I never realized all the different colors "blueflowers" can have! Now I really wont to establish a population of different colors in my garden Shocked
I would like to try H americana as well!

No Hepatica blooming here yet so these are from last spring at my cabin! (Wild population)

Trond, yours have such a nice rich color. Especially the pink one! I haven't found any that saturated yet, but I'm still hoping and tramping through the woods around here. I'm going to hopefully get out at the right time and collect some seed this year.

The red one is a member of a population that consists of almost 30% reds and a few whites. I can try to collect some seed if I hit the right time and if you are interested we can swap!
