Leaves


I think hepaticas would earn a spot in my garden even if they never bloomed. At top is Hepatica insulare from an island off the tip of South Korea. At bottom is Hepatica nobilis Cremar, a strain of hepatica known for its scalloped, patterned leaves.

    They do have the best foliage. Incredible for the size of the tiny plants.

    These leaves are quite distinctive! You won't be getting them confused - one with the other. :-) Very pretty.

    Gail, Sheila, flowrgirl & Shady... I've been looking a lot at the foliage of the thousands of H. nobilis acutiloba growing in the nature preserve, and there are some pretty darn cool looking plants.
