I doubt this will be of any help but if all else fails Fraser's Thimble Farm, Salt Spring Island, B.C. has Hepatica transsilvanica listed for $10.00 the only catch is you have to place a $75.00 order if ordering from the states and then there's the cost of a phyto certificate etc. on top of that.
Hopefully you can find it states side but sometimes if you can get others to go in with you on a group order and share the expenses it doesn't put too much of an ouchie on the old pocket book.

Good luck on finding your elusive plant, I've gone down this same road many times:)

Thank you so much Annette, I do appreciate the information. I'll keep it in mind and in the mean time, just keep searching. Hopefully I can find a source in the fall to get it in the ground before next spring.
