And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day" (Genesis 1:31)
Wild Flowers of Sleepy Hollow Lake
Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)

(Bloodroot - 06) The leaf of the bloodroot is wrapped around the flower bud as
it emerges from the ground in early spring. The leaf doesn't fully expand until
after the flower has bloomed. Pictured is a newly opened flower with its petals
not fully expanded, as is the flower in the next photo. Since all of the
bloodroot don't open at the same time, we always look for the leaf to confirm
our identification of the flower.
