And then there are the hepaticas just getting started.
I have several special varieties which are just too beautiful.
#1 is a double pink called hepatica nobilis rubra plena.
#2 is another double called Shirin.
#3 is a 'reddish' colored single simply called 'red seedling'.
It's a nice distinction from the usual blue/white/lavender palate.
#4 is an odd shade-tolerant perennial called scopolia carniolica.
#5 is anemone blanda just getting started.
It will soon light up broad areas of my woodland in bright purple.
I presume we're sending our warming weather north & east so hopefully you guys will soon be seeing spring too!
