Kitty, I just checked my records as well and see that mine also came
from Seneca Hill in 2003.  Great minds?

I suspect that mine will were the same as yours in terms of petal count
then, but they have passed and I'll have to check next year.

I had a 16-petaled one that spontaneously showed up in my yard once,
but it didn't prove as hardy as the straight species and has since 
disappeared.  There's a picture of it in the hort.net gallery at

I probably shouldn't have listed it as 'Flore Pleno', but just as a 
multi-petal form.
