Hi Gabriela. The seed arrived fine.  But are you color blind?   
Mauve (Listeni/ˈmoʊv/, mohv;[3]) is a pale purple color.  Wikipedia
That hep. is blue.

I have been called colour blind before and I don't mind  I only agree I should have said deep purple (but still not blue for me 
By any other colour...a most spendid Hepatica!

[Maggi Young]

 Colour  descriptions and perceptions are as individual as scents, I think! 
We're all agreed on how lovely the  flower is, that's unanimous!

Wonderful pictures thank you all and some very useful information we hope our Hepaticas will awaken soon monsoon rain with hailstones today.

As purple as it gets!

Thanks a lot, I felt a pinch in my heart! Is there any chance you would share few seeds next year?
I am open to anything - buying, trading for other seeds...I collect H. americana in many blue shades, there is also a form with extra petals if you would like to use it for breeding.
