"Most stern moralists are in the habit of thinking of pleasure as only of
the senses, and, when they eschew the pleasures of sense, they do not notice
that the pleasures of power, which to men of their temperament are far more
attractive, have not been brought within the ban of their ascetic
self-denial."
-- Bertrand Russell

I've just counted petals on the picture I took at the O'Byrne's
garden in Eugene, Oregon.

Eight.

I'd better look on the wiki and compare.
