Re: Central Wisconsin update/inquiry

You might be counting 8 for four.  Each segment has two lobes.  Lots of
four, fives etc.  Seen six no sevens or eights.  Might be wrong, but the
large segmented flowers are flukes if they are actual at all.  Just my
thought.  And the four segmented flowers are just as good as the others. 
Think the Hunt 991 was a four maybe a five lobed flower.
