One another exciting but cold April day in the garden! Interesting to note that certain populations of bloodroot in the garden are not blooming yet, which is great because we will get staggered blooming!

One was accidentally stepped on and broke during the process of photography. After much lament, the specimen then quietly went into the flower press, curled up leaf with the open flower.
I’m really enjoying these crisp, clear photos with identifiable detail. It makes the flowers so much more interesting. I thought we had a bloodroot in our yard, but I was able to refer to your photos and saw that ours was somewhat different.
