first wild flower




The bloodroots are out now in eastern Iowa woodlands. They've pushed up through the leafy, muddy crust of winter to offer us hope for warmer, gentler days ahead. Sturdy, well-built little blossoms, their roots "bleed" red if cut, thus their name.

    Thanks Julia! It's still pretty gray here- with snow predicted this weekend :{ But there's hope in a single petal.
