Today was the peak blooming in the garden. We noticed that the petals grew each day they bloomed, so far five consecutive days for some flowers.

Many, many small bees swarming around the flowers.

At the end of the day, we noticed a few petals were on the ground, a sure sign that the peak bloom has occurred.

Some of these flowers measure out around 7.5 centimeters across!

I am glad that you enjoyed the pictures. These patches of bloodroot are past their prime and many of the petals are on the ground and they are now in the seed formation stage. Next stop bluebells!
Sean, I love these pix!!

Always looking for an artistic way to photograph these plants.
