Werner, I recently heard there are at least a dozen different double bloodroot forms! Yours looks a bit different than mine. I've grown the double for quite a while and have divided and shared it. I like trading! I was sent a double form from Ohio and potted it up. It will be interesting to compare. Hydrophyllum canadense is the leaf. It fades to green later in spring, but is worth having for the few weeks of ornamental value. All the photos posted in this thread are gorgeous! I love the variety.

That's Nice!! I've seen a lot of questions from many who are on their first try. So I figured I'd put together a little post with my backyard progression, it has been 2 years today since seeding the back yard. I did not realize that you had gone through this before! It is definitely helpful, and encouraging to see a renovation through the complete process. Thanks for this post!

Great pictures! Thanks so much for taking them and posting them! You are a woman of many talents! I am surprised that we all don't look more "wilted"- boy- it was hot! I agree Rick- that shot makes that area look better than I have ever seen it- and I see it every day! Joyce, do you have a weed reducing lense on your camera? Well, you do have a great eye for composition then! Thanks for the photos- Thanks ya'll for being in them! Julie

I am posting these pictures for MikeyFresh. He started the year off in Florida in January on a herpetofuanal count of the St. Vincent National Wildlife area. He ended up spending the summer in California. Mike is now a grad student at the college we both go to. He drove back to Kansas and got to do some herping along the way, hence the klauberi. I herped with him (along with kcmatt) in California and we have herped quite a bit here in Kansas. Here goes: Florida: Ambystoma talpoideum Psuedacris crucifer Lampropeltis elapsoides Agkistrodon piscivorous Sistrurus miliarius California: Lampropeltis zonata Uma inornata Crotalus mitchelli Charina trivirgata Charina umbratica Coluber mormon C. oreganus Elgaria multicarinata (I know it changed, I don't remember what it changed to) Psuedacris cadaverina C. ruber Sonora semiannulata Kansas: C. viridis C. horridus Phrynosoma cornutum And finally Arizona: Short but sweet... C. l. klauberi That is all for now...More to come as Mike gets more pics uploaded and the same goes for me. Hope you all enjoyed. ****All pics by MikeyFresh
