04.22.2021-2 More Dutchman’s Breeches
I am always happy to find these and this particular bunch makes a nice natural bouquet.
04.19.2021 Blood-root
It’s always been Bloodroot to me, but when I checked out GoBotany it didn’t show up…these computers are so picky. So I searched the latin name…Sanguinaria canadensis, and discovered it now has a hyphen. There is a plant they list … Continue reading
04.18.2021 A nice Sunday find

05.02.2019 Trillium on a Slippery Slope

03.17.2019 Black and White Bloodroot
With Spring ephemeral season approaching, I’ve been reviewing my flora archives and thought this opening Bloodroot would convert well. Like most of us, I have just about had my fill of Winter. Although not my favorite season, it has afforded … Continue reading
