Earlier, I took pictures of the bloodroot, which was not out yesterday. Last year it was April 19th when they blossomed. I fell in love with this plant when I saw Ruth MacDowell's quilt "Bloodroot" which is owned by the New England Quilt Museum. Of course,the blossoms on that quilt are nearly a foot wide, the real ones are about an inch from petal tip to petal tip. they are brilliant white against the brown, heavily textured earth.
