I just read Graham's request.  I have the 8 petaled form native to my wildflower garden on Chilhowee Mountain but now am searching for forms with more petals.  One from friend has 21 petals and slightly different mature leaf.  I guess I am looking for what is called the Tennessee form with more petals.  Chris's neighbor has lots but hard to count from picture.  But I would be willing to count if a plant came down this way.  Nancy

Yes, Chris, this is a lovely plant.

Can I ask everyone a favor? If you grow this plant, or any of the named forms of bloodroot, can you please pick a flower or two from your clump, pull each flower apart and count the petals? I'm doing some research on the named varieties for the RHS and it would be really useful to have that kind of input. If you feel like measuring a petal or two as well, that would be even better.

And you might be interested in this post from a few years ago: http://transatlanticplantsman.typepad.com/transatlantic_plantsman/2008/04/sanguinaria---t.html (click the pictures to enlarge them...)

Many thanks,
