Bloodroot flower

One of the earliest spring flowers.

The root can be used to treat conditions of the skin such as ringworm, warts, polyps, fungal growths. (I haven't tried it though)

Beautiful color and detail of the veins. I really like the light and shadows, Jay.

so beautiful and the center looks like someone took paper cutouts and glued them there...it's so perfect! I'm glad you haven't had to try those for remedies.
