Exquisite but Ephemeral Each bloodroot bloom lasts a scant day at its prime, before petals start for fall, but this has been my favorite woodland spring wildflower from the moment I first saw one. ![]() Here's the full shot ![]() I post high resolution photos (nature, travel, and other subjects) on smugmug https://arctangent.smugmug.com... |

Beautiful banner Elizabeth. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |

"...this has been my favorite woodland spring wildflower from the moment I first saw one." And I can see why. They must glow in the sunlight against a dark background.

I remember finding these in the woods when I was a kid, picking them and getting the red sap all over my hands. We used to paint our faces with it like we were wild Indians in war paint. ![]() Voltaire: "Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities," |

Besides seeing your beautiful banners, I'm increasing my vocabulary......loved your poetic adjective "Ephemeral". Fits this little bloom so well. |

Heartfelt thanks to all of you who took the time to comment of my self-indulgent bloodroot banner, or even just to give it a thumbs up. Much appreciated.![]() I post high resolution photos (nature, travel, and other subjects) on smugmug https://arctangent.smugmug.com... |
