Bloodroot



Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)

Genus: Sanguinaria      Family: Papaveraceae (Poppy)

Bloodroot is one of the earliest blooming flowers.  It is native to Minnesota and in fact most of eastern North America. It likes partial to full shade in moist to dry woods. And yes, if you break the stem is does ‘bleed’ a red juice.
