Wild Beauties


Blood Root

I assume everything went alright yesterday regarding everyone receiving my new blog. I only heard from one person and I think she was able to get connected alright. It will take a little time I guess, especially on my end to get this correct. Thank you for your patience.

Today we have two wild flowers, one that should be greeting you right about now. The photo here was taken in my yard a year or two back. Blood Root is native to the Northeast and Nova Scotia. It begins flowering even as the remaining snows blanket the ground. Blood root is one of many plants that their seeds are spread by ants, a very interesting plant to study and enjoy. The preference for growth is moist, damp woods and thickets.

The other little white beauty is the wild strawberry that I am sure everyone is familiar with. Strawberries are not a true berry; I know you could not live with out that important tidbit of information. Enjoy and please let me know if you are having any problem receiving this blog.
