Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the most beautiful spring wildflowers the double forms of bloodroot are legendary. The huge fully double flowers are much less ephemeral than the single forms. We have a couple of clones that differ primarily in bloom time, opening a week or so apart. This is the early clone. We have had clumps of this disappear from the garden with the holes neatly filled in and the leaf litter carefully sifted back. Clever woodchucks?
Double Blood Root. Y'all don't need a description for this - it's all right there in the flower.
