Sanguinaria canadensis
This plant is a great groundcover. Â Lots of white flowers in the early spring and attractive leaves.
The second year in a row in our window planter. Nuage enjoys the blooming flowers too!
BLOODROOT BLOOMS IN THE SANGUINE ROOT NATIVE PLANT GARDEN
I love the photo of Nuage!! Meow!!
And the flowers are so tiny!
Stella, Thanks. The flowers get as big as 2 and a half inches on some specimens. The flowers get bigger each day, and then the petals fall off after a few days.
Scott, we have never been there, perhaps a field
Trip is in order.
How nice to see! Yesterday, at the very end of a Spring Ephemerals Walk in Glen Providence Park (Media, PA), someone spotted some bloodroot popping up from the brown leaves. A great way to finish the walk.
I saw them today. No sign of the trout lillies on the trout lilly stump, or spring beauty. Saw skunk cabbage. and pernicious invasives though they are… the renuculus–their green and yellow carpets… were beautiful. Color so welcome after a winter of brown and gray… not even the stark black & white relief of snow.
I saw that it was 77 degrees F. in Ely Minnesota yesterday…
You are doing such amazing work… both of you. Want to do my part to make this planet safe for people like you. Have you seen how Nutter and the realtors are declaring war on the homeless? Passed laws that would make it impossible to share food with them (Occupy has continued to serve meals (not ‘feedings’… how Nutter and his paid lackies at the Inq put it… ) …since Oct 6, tens of thousands of meals.
They think it’s healthier for them to scrape food from dumpsters… and more ‘dignified.’ This is all about the Barnes. We should make the whole damn Parkway a home for the homeless… and maybe plant some native flowers to replace their imported slave flora.
They know… things are going to get worse… and not better–passing laws left and right to clamp down on the inevitable discontent: NDAA, making protests illegal anywhere they chose.
They don’t see Morris Park… how spring comes up again and again. They won’t stop us. I may not see it… fully expect to end my days in prison… we’ll win. And you guys are on the front lines. And they can’t even see you … yet.
Peace/Love/Solidarity
… and hello Nuage… I asked Murphy if he wanted to say hi… ah… well… you know… cats… can you believe it? Murphy’s 8 years old!
Jacob, The trout lilies are not out yet in Morris Park or in the Wissahickon, by Kitchens lane where we usually see them. I would say another week or so. The sessile trilliums at kitchens lane are up, but not yet blooming. Yes, the Rununculus ficaria is an invasive that is out of control. I think it threatens the spring beauty in Morris Park, and it also is threatening bluebells in Valley Forge park.
Having spent almost ten years distributing food to homeless living under the Kennedy expressway in Chicago, and maintaining a food program on Viola Street, I find this new law outrageous. It reminds me of when Nutter tried to close the libraries, but this is more short sighted.
On the issue of native plants on the parkway, the concept is slowly sinking in. The water department is embracing native plants, for starters.
On the whole, ecology, ecological justice is tied with social justice, freedom and equality. Without social justice and a civil society based on human rights, the resulting poverty and national crisis would result in the plundering of natural areas.
Newage rules! More kitty pictures!
Nuage is so cute in her spot in the window. She does muss up the curtain though.
Such beautiful, crisp photos! I can almost reach out and touch the petals….Nice.
This time i did not have a dog tugging at my other arm, so i was able to take a better picture.
