HEPATICA NOBILIS (Schreb, 1771)

Anemone hepatica (Kidneywort, Common hepatica)
Leberblume
Anémone hépathique

Family: Ranunculaceae

This flower is among the first to appear after the snowmelt. I have taken the picture yesterday in Valais at an altitude of ca 1650 m, where snow was still present last week. We hope that it finally disappeared until next winter.
The purole color is given by the pigment Anthocyanin, which transforms light in warmth and helps these flowers to survive even low temperatures.

Hi Anne,
Nice composition ...
Depth of field, color and detail are very good.
have a nice weekend,
Seyfi

I may have said this before but you use that Canon and the image looks as though a Nikon took it..so that disproves my theory in this area...This is just the way I would shoot and present this one Anne. Gorgeous flora!

Je regardais un livre de plantes printanières hier soir et j'ai vu les différentes espèces d'hépathiques! Cependant, il n'y en a pas ici, je crois que c'est à cause des conifères et trop peu de feuillus. Quelles jolies fleurs et quelle chance tu as eu de les croiser! Très belle photo, Anne, j'aime beaucoup les couleurs et la netteté de ton image. Merci!

Hi Anne.
I think these flowers are tiny. And you managed to presented them nicely. We can see all charming arts of the flowers, very natural damped up surroundings, and pleasant lights and delicate colours. My kind regards and wishes.
Alexei.

Hi Anne. Spring is such a beautiful time when all the new plants come to life. You have taken the Anemone with a low POV so we can see straight into the flower head. Which you have taken with good detail and natural colours. well done TFS.
Nick..

Have a nice weekend.

Bonsoir Anne,
A fine capture of Hepatica nobilis taken with excellent sharpness and from a great POV to show the two flowers with fine detail. I find that I have to underexpose a couple of stops to get the colours right, especially the darker ones, but maybe these were naturally pale as some are.
Thanks and have a good Sunday,
Amicalement,
Ivan

Hi Anne,
another beautiful flower, soft and pretty purple. Very sharp and well seen in great detils. I like its isolation with undisturbed leaves. Yhis one also display the vertical lines of graphic and blurry background, making it straight forward and simple. Well seen and I believe it is a petite flower.

regards,
Foozi
