Met these as buds a couple days ago and circled back to catch them in bloom - first time seeing bloodroot flower.

Single dimpled trout lily with the sun illuminating its bright yellow petals and purple-motted leaves.

You'll probably be seeing a lot of these from me - I've visited them thrice in the last week.

Cluster of dimpled trout lilies in bloom, with bright yellow petals streaked with pink and green leaves mottled with purple.

My first native NC wildflower of the year, a reminder of spring on the horizon. I'm in the very early stages of processing and healing but I'm noticing a little more light day to day.
