a friend and I bought, at a yellow book garden 3 or 4 years ago,
plants labelled just "hepatica".
Mine is still in the same soil in the same pot I put it in when I
brought it home. It has lovely shiny, heart-shaped leaves.
Hers is also healthy but in the ground.
Neither have ever flowered..... BUT ... on looking at mine today, and
cutting off some of the dead leaves, I find things which can only be
seed pods, on short stalks, hidden below the leaves.
Can anyone give me a name of what hepatica this might be?
Do some flower below the leaves?
When should I look for flowers?
My sight is not so bad that I wouldnt see the flowers we've been
hoping for unless they were well hidden.

Could it be something quite different, Arisarum proboscideum?
