We discovered several bloodroot flowers on our hike on the Bartram Trail from Wallace Branch to William’s Pulpit the other day. This one was particularly lovely, so I made a soft image with focus stacking to connect with the heart of the plat and its energy. Bloodroots, or Sanguinaria Canadensis, are considered to be sun worshippers, as they bloom when there is little shade in the forest. Bartram was enamored with these flowers and sent them to his European patrons. Though their roots are poisonous, they are sometimes prescribed as headache remedies and stimulants in small doses.
