Chris, We bought them at the same time when I shared the availability on 
Garden Chat.  She was aoffering them at an amazingly low price of $10! - 
limit 3.

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.

Chris
