Well, Dean, either the double bloodroot is partial to MI or, as Bill
says, Jim has a particularly robust clone going. Maybe it likes cold
winters better than what I have to offer? The species seems quite
happy here, tho' so the double ought to be about the same.
Then, there's Bill's note that he had to try 4 times to get it
established. I've only managed to kill it once, so have at least 3
more tries left.
You can tell Jim that we're all quite jealous of his stand!
