A gem amongst the darkness and decay of the forest floor.
This flower is a Bloodroot (Sanguinaria Candensis)
The juice from the root was used as a body paint and dye by Native Americans. The root juice has been used as a dye for fabrics producing a yellow orange color that is very fast. Although having been used for medicinal purposes, it should be noted that the extracts have a tissue destroying property! Fine for the treatment of warts perhaps, but not recommended for a sore throat.
