Sanguinaira Canadensis!


Underneath the staked Dawn Redwood tree


...every spring at this time... 


 you will locate the Bloodroot.


The delicate petals are a marvel to behold


And the excitement of watching them multiply every spring just warms the heart.


I am very careful with the beauties,


because they only last for a couple days in good weather.


So this is my little patch of Sanguinaira Canadensis!
It puts a smile on my blond tipped snout!
