Chinese Bloodroot February 18, 2019

Bloodroot is a spring ephemeral.  This little woodland plant emerges in very early spring, blooms for only a few weeks, then goes dormant and disappears.  I'm lucky I caught sight of it at all.  I was just going to the Shade Garden to look at my camellia, then I happened upon my special and rarely seen bloodroot.





 This camellia is what I went in to the Shade Garden to admire.  But the bloodroot was the real treat.
