BLOODROOT BLOOMS IN THE GARDEN, April 8th, 2013

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.
