Looking at the root system on your FLP makes me wonder just what is it that I have as the roots on mine bear no resemblance to your picture. My FLP has what I can only call stolons that spread out with the branches spreading out about 1.5 feet from one side to the other. It is also growing fairly quickly for a FLP. I don't have a picture of it or I would post it but the foliage is finely divided like in your photo and it has very early single deep red blooms. The main difference is only one branch rises from the ends of these strange stoloniferous roots. Any ideas? Genetic mutations from the gardens around Chernobyl? A GMO with octopus genes spliced in?
