Here did you buy the japanese hepaticas? Is zone 7 too hot for them?

I got Shikouden from Fraser Thimble Farms, B.C., Canada. Just take a look at this page and you will fall in love with Hepaticas....

I think they can be grown in zone 7 because western coast of Canada is a very warm region. Japanese Hepaticas are rather expensive... but we, orchids lovers, are used to pay more than 40 $ for a small plant!

Some other of our liveworts are from Free Spirit Nursery (B.C., Canada too).

I bought some in eastern Canada. I think Pico Strain is a Portuguese strain.

It could be great!!! So I would stop asking myself who will take care of it when I will be too old to do the job!

 

[Dido]

hope my sanguinaria get as big as yours one day.
Missed to make a pic this year, only had 10 flowers now after 4 years of growing

Agreed. I can't quite comprehend the extent of it. To say that I'm jealous isn't even close to an understatement :rollhappy:

Not bad at all! Mine is much older and it was a pity for years before I decided to move it on good soil.
