Blood Root
So, in Phil's response to my recent post, he mentioned that he had seen Bloodroot, I believe. Anyway, it got me to thinking that, yeah, I need to get out into my own backyard and see what's growing. Lo and behold, my bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) were blooming...

One of my favorite spring flowers. Now, I'm waiting for the trillium to come up...

Enjoy,

Tim!

This is a great shot. I don't think I've ever seen this many in a clump out in the woods.

Actually, Phil, the "clump" is in my "backyard." I planted these blood root a few years ago at the border of my yard and the tract of woods behind my home... ;)
