Little nubs of the blood root were poking through the earth in early April. By the 9th they were poised to burst, standing at the ready. White petals rose on stems, looking as though they were almost cradled by their leaves in an embrace. Then the bees came to enjoy their harvest.
So much goes on this time of year, transformations one day to the next. It won't be long before the petals drop and bees depart, but the beautiful foliage will remain through summer.
