You may recall that, when we visited bloodroot wildflowers previously, they were closed. We returned, hoping for a different outcome. Happily, they were open on that overcast day, bringing light to our souls. I did my stooping thing, so whomsoever recently chided for mistreating my back, has another opportunity. The thing is that I don’t necessarily wish to get down and dirty my trousers
I think my attempt was successful, and, fortunately, I feel no more back pain than usual in the aftermath.
We also passed by the English lady's garden to check in on the more domesticated spring flowers. (Two crops of the same photo with much editing as the spirit led me.)
Those photos look well worth the bending down! I love hyacinths, and bought a bulb garden with four of them in it (I'll plant them for next year). I've been plugged up ever since and should move it -- but they're so pretty I just can't!
ReplyDeleteThe White flowers are beautiful. I don't think we have them here. Off to google.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to finally find your post (blogger is not listing my favorite blogs in the right hand column where I usually (daily!) find your posts! You've got magnificent bloodroot flowers...and thanks for suffering (I hope very little) for your art!!
ReplyDeleteI love your take on the Blood Root. I hadn't done an angle like that in years! I love the textures that show up on the leaves and I failed to get any good shots of the leaves this year.
ReplyDeleteThose hyacinths are beautiful.
I love the shots of the Bloodroot.
ReplyDeleteBlogger doesn't seem to be updating the reading list.
I love flower photos, as you know! Keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteThe bloodroot flowers are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo we both posted Bloodroot pictures the same day!
ReplyDeleteThese are really pretty, and since you shared them the first time, I don't think I have ever seen Bloodroot before. Hope the back pain isn't too much of an issue.
ReplyDeleteVery nice capture of the bloodroot! Its leaves are as beautiful as its flower.
ReplyDeleteI get it, AC, and also do not want to kneel to capture small flowers, but you did get results of the open blooms and without further back issues, a success!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, John!
ReplyDeleteThat is the best photo of bloodroot I think i have ever seen!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty flowers! I wonder if we have bloodroot in the UK. Off to ask the internet
ReplyDeleteI agree with Granny Sue. That IS a gorgeous photo of bloodroot. I can't remember if I've ever seen it. Granted, I might have seen it but didn't know what it was called. Happy Spring to you and Sue!
ReplyDeleteI think I have some of them in one of my garden plots. Will check on them tomorrow. Weather to be warm - a good day to be outside getting the gardens ready for growing.
