The blood roots we have up here don't flower until late summer. Our May apples are more like June apples.Many things in bloom here. Blackberries, trillium, May apples, blood root, and pleurisy root just to name a few. Last week we had a freaky hundred degree day and last night I had to load up my pellet stove again. Just nuts!
Normally by now we have the pool open, not this year!
When I first moved her, 7 years ago, I spent the first two watching which flowers bloom when. It's funny how flowers can replace the months of a calendar. Spring Beauty is the first flower around here. My old plant professor would call this a "belly flower," which is any flower best examined while lying on your belly.
