No idea what this is, if it's wild or if the previous owners planted it. It seems to be living in the middle of a raspberry bush

Appears to be Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)

If so, neat plant!

Yep, I'd believe that. Man are you guys quick over here!

I've yet to find them in habitat here and wonder if they really do best in Partial Shade to Full Shade in more northern areas @KentPfeiffer?

I only find them in dappled shade under oaks, but can easily imagine them growing in more open habitats where the climate is a bit more benign.

Thanks Kent. We have a good nursery for native plants in the area and I have a location in mind.

It sure is a pretty one!

At least in Minnesota, Bloodroot is quite adaptable to the dappled shade of almost any deciduous tree. They a common in Minnesota woods and I don't see any preference for companion tree species, as long as its needs are met.

Here is where he lives -

Yep, Bloodroot.
