Hepatica

Lovely flower and a good photo too

I love these flowers Spritz, so beautiful

Absolutely love it - such a stunning blue. It does seem early, is it in a sheltered spot?

The more i see these flowers..the more i love them...beautiful Spritz...:>)

Yes, I adore hepatica and this is a great shot of the flower.

Delightful little flower with those pretty stamens!

I agree with Motinot ... they're so pretty!

I agree aswell very pretty flower.

Thanks, all - it's under a Cistus shrub, so I suppose it is sheltered. Have you ever looked at any websites with Hepaticas? They are WELL out of my price range! :-O
I'm not even tempted!

not surprised they are expensive ~ that is truly beautiful

I think the expensive ones come from Japan...I seem to remember.

When you look at a flower close up, it makes a much bigger impression, doesn't it. I'm sure my neighbours must think I'm mad - I'm always peering into flowers! lol.

Lovely shot, a very attractive plant the hepatica, but, as you say can be so expensive.

I had a white one too - but it has disappeared. #:-(

I don't think I'll be replacing it, Dd.

I wish I had bought some when I had the chance years ago now!!

Thanks, Homebird.

Dd - I did have a few more - vanished without trace. Boo-hoo! :-((

This is beautiful!

They just are, aren't they. I'd love to have more, but the price per plant is very off-putting. :-(((

Stunning, i do like that...

Thanks, Mark. :-)
