Friday Flower Blogging
We are enjoying a stretch of amazingly beautiful weather here, and I've been kicking myself for not planning ahead better and requesting a day off this week. Inspired by rumors of bloodroot flowering locally, SodaBoy and I hit up a local state park after I got off work yesterday. The park is a geological and botanical wonder, one of the best spots in my immediate area to see spring wildflowers. The phenological rumors proved true. Witness:
wild ginger (Asarum canadense)
bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)

I'm glad you were not lead astray. I particularly like the shot of the wild ginger. It's easy to see that it might fly under the radar.
WOW! SUPER! I'm a little jealous. We saw spicebush and trout lily.
I've never seen wild ginger! Beautiful...
If it's as warm there as it is here, you must be itching to get out--are you seeing flowers on your job trips?
