Re: Pink bloodroot?


FWIW, RHS Plant Finder lists '-pink' under S. canadensis - no real cv
name, but indicates that there is definitely a recognized pink form. 
Expect this is rather rare and have dibs on your first set of
grandchildren from this plant, should they come true:-)

Lucky you!  Mark that plant so you can see if it comes back next year
with the same coloration....what a find!
