In pink, blue and purple

For those with Hepatica flowers in their mind 😊 yes, most of them are flowering in all colors; or better said, they are trying between the heavy rain showers of the past days. There have been very few good moments for taking pictures.
More Hepatica nobilis plants were planted in the ground last summer and after a very long, snowy and cold winter they are looking excellent. There is no reason to pamper them in pots.

Besides the usual garden residents, I always eagerly await the first time flowering of new seedlings.
In connection with the seeds offered in the shop, in a pot with  6-7 seedlings of H. nobilis ‘Walter’ (multipetal pink),  2 seedlings are flowering. The news is both good and bad: good because one of them is picture perfect of the mother-plant, bad because the other one is blue. 

Since all the plants are open-pollinated it is understandable though. I would like to emphasize the good news – from a larger batch of seedlings, one is expected to obtain at least a few true to name plants.

A seedling from the H. nobilis multipetal blue is also flowering picture perfect to the mother plant. Of course, all special forms, not just the multipetals, would be best propagated by division but alas, I cannot share them that way.

I would like to hear from those who purchased Hepatica nobilis ‘Walter’ or the Hepatica nobilis multipetal blue seeds. Do you already have flowering seedlings, and in what percentage are they true to form?
