Bloodroot(Sanguinaria canadensis)
Glowing white petals and golden hearts....
The first and the loveliest of the April blooming wildflowers in the Lanark Highlands, Bloodroot is a creature of dappled clearings and sunny days. On cool gray days, the petals are closely furled and enfolded within the wonderfully scalloped leaves like tiny porcelain goblets.
Bloodroot is not the most vibrantly colored resident of the Two Hundred Acre Wood, but it is dear to my heart, and the first blooms always leave me breathless.
