    Found this description in a foreign catalogue and trying to figure out what it means:

    Quote
    NON-flowering buds Filled Hepatica:
    Hepatica henryi (pink-flowered) $5.00/Ea.
    Hepatica yamatutai (white-flowered) $5.00/Ea.
    Unquote

    Do you think it means they're not mature enough to flower ? It can't possibly mean
    that it won't flower - who would buy a hepatica that doesn't flower ? I'm sure the
    'buds filled' means double petals as in flore plena.

    Ideas ?

    Sounds like you've figured it out.

    Just wanted some confirmation - thought there maybe a different kind of hepatica that I don't know about.
