I've tried to do justice to bloodroot in bud with a camera, but you've got closer with words than I did with pictures.
When I lived outside Boston I used to go to The Garden in the Woods in Framingham. They have double-flowered bloodroot there, with many identical oval petals, like a bird ruffling its feathers. They also have double-flowered trillium, which is a whorl of pointed petals like a snow sculpture. I wouldn't want to give up the single forms, but the doubles are different flowers entirely.
