Bloodroot is found growing in moist to dry woods and thickets, often on flood plains and near shores or streams on slopes. Deer will feed on the plants in early spring. Bloodroot is one of many plants whose seeds are spread by ants. Bloodroot is a popular red natural dye used by Native American artists, especially among southeastern rivercane basketmakers. The blood of the root (when cut open) was used as a dye. Photo by Gale Kaas

Saturday morning I could finally sit out in my rocking chair on the porch with a cup of coffee and enjoy the beautiful sounds of nature surrounding me.
