Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)

One of the earliest native spring ephemerals to appear in woodlands in Ontario. They are out in force in the Ash woods. Typically I see this plant blooming at the FWG in late april. In 2006, 2007 and 2008 the dates I first saw them were between 22 and 27 of April, while last year, I saw them on 17 April.

A gorgeous flower. I love how the leaf is curled around it, as though embracing it. The green makes a nice contrast to the white flower. V
