Lover of Livers
This is Hepatica transsilvanica, native to S.E. Europe, with beautiful blue flowers, and mat-forming bright green foliage. I've gradually accumulated several different species of Hepatica, and have grown enamored of the foliage on these little woodlanders. The flowers are lovely, but usually ephemeral, but the foliage persists, and in most species is evergreen, even in our harsh climate.I like these plants best when viewing them deep in November, when their waxy leaves take on a lovely, somber tone.
