The tiny, double white flowers of Sanguinaria canadensis f. multiplex 'Plena' (double bloodroot) remind me of little waterlilies. Previously considered a rare collectors plant, this plant, although still a specialty item, is now much easier and less expensive to obtain. Both the Latin and common names come from the red, blood-like fluid that drains out of the rhizomes when cut.
