Does anyone know of a quick way of getting five bitter green petals without having to go in the wild on the off chance that you might find some. (I need them for an EEC mission) Thanks

whats EEC? Only time i used treated bittergreen petals I was given them by quest giver. Otherwise I think I seen some "common" bittergreens at alchemyshops and random crates/urns/sacks.

EEC is the East Empire Company. I'll check out the alchemists. It's strange that the magic shop in Mournhold doesm't sell any.

A Dunmer in the Gnisis Temple has 10 bittergreen petals.

Yes he's in the second room on the left when you enter the temple IIRC...

you can use the console if you are willing to cheat

YOu can get bittergreen petals for free on the mainland. If you travel to khuul you can find it in the wildrness around the city. I believe it is in what looks like a spiked vine like plant or atleast i rember finding near one.
