What did you expect? It's growing just outside Boston and was lucky to
survive the last winter. This one probably has petal minusitis. :-)
Seriously, Dean's image is on the bottom rung for petal count and the
link you supplied is on the top rung. The flowers do look quite
different. I first thought that it was "twin leaf" (Jeffersonia
dyphilla) but then realized that twin leaf doesn't have lobed leaves
like bloodroot.
