Comments re photo 44313 Wildflowers of KY ID needed for White Petaled spring flower photo and question from Jeanne Marshburn

By Wendy Butler Burt

This is Bloodroot, one of our earliest flowering Spring flowers, which is named for the orange-red juice that oozes out when the flower is picked. Native Americans (as well as my brothers and I) used the juice as body paint . --Wendy Butler Burt
