We saw Bloodroot starting to bloom at the Park.  It grows close to the ground, so you have to look for it.  But it is so bright and cheery, it almost jumps up to be noticed.  

 

The flowers last a week or so, but the leaves keep growing all season, until they are 5 or 6 inches across.  We love seeing Bloodroot in bloom.  There used to be some on the Creekside Trail, but I haven’t seen it for a few years.  Maybe we can check next time we’re on the Trail.  I hope you get to see it.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
