The Little Guys
Of all the flowers in the garden, bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) is the one that makes me feel the most sentimental. My Mother was a gardener, and was a person very much in harmony with nature and the seasons. It was always officially spring when we would come home from school, and she would say, "Well, the little guys are blooming." This is what she called the bloodroots that bloomed on our wooded property. This was the single wildflower I wanted the most in my present woodland garden, and they come from one plant I dug from my Mom and Dad's old homestead (which my Sister still owns). So, it is spring: the little guys are blooming.
