March 10th,
2016. Spring has arrived! At least the temperatures have risen, and the early
wildflowers are beginning to bloom. Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) is one of my favorite spring wildflowers.
Several are blooming in the Dunstan Garden at the State Botanical Garden in
Athens, Georgia.
I found this one
blooming at the junction of the White and Green Trails in the woods. The leaf,
as attractive as the flower, is just visible at the base of the stem.
A better view of
the developing leaf. A few inches away, I found a couple more leaves just visible in the
leaf litter.
