Dennis, blood root is a native wildflower to this area.  The root bulb for lack of a better description is filled with a red substance that can be used as a dye.  Legend is that the indians collected and cultivated blood root for this purpose.  Making face paint or paint for their pottery.  I don't know if a catalog would have it or not?  And I never see seeds to collect.  I believe it multiplies by root propagation.

Yes, Nira, I love springtime here.  Tulips will be popping open before the weekend!  More pics to follow!
