  • Question

    This is a follow up from a question yesterday. Thank you for identifying the flower as bloodroot...I thought the flower for bloodroot had more petals and didn’t recognize it. My daughter-in-law sent me a new photo today after I told of your response and indeed it had grown out more to reveal the multi petaling. I also asked her to rip the leaf as you said and Sure enough, the latex oozed out. I’m sharing that photo. Thanks for all you do for all of “us” lifelong learners!

    MaineMimi, I'm glad we were able to identify your mystery plant. Enjoy it.
