Reaching for the skies and yes, it does signify a new start. Spring is definitely in the air for the Northern Hemisphere - as this pleasing shot confirms - so I'll have to use this as my reminder as the Southern Hemisphere faces winter. Boo.

@scooter @girlie These flowers are called Blood Root. They are wild flowers generally found in the forest and they have a history with Native Americans using the root for red dye.

[Robin]

@denisedaly Thanks for the ID. After 'misidentifying' them I noticed the leaves are not those of jonquils so they only have a passing likeness. Obviously a native American flower and a very lovely one.

[Kathryn Marshall]

Lovely shot and flower

[Diane]

Very pretty, especially with the water drops. I'd heard of blood root but didn't know what it looked like. The things I learn on 365....
