Bloodroot ( sanguinaria canadensis)
|
This flower is one of my favourite. This immaculate white flower with a unique large leaf so well jagged fill me with delight. The Indians made a beautiful red dye from its red latex, decorating their pottery and... their face when at war ! |
This other photo was taken at Wendake the Huron Reserve. |
Bunchberry (Cornus canadensis )
|
One wouldn't walk on this showy white and green carpet. Later these carpets bearing numerous small red fruits turn red and green. |
Squirrel Corn (Dicentra canadensis)
Dutchman's Breeches' cousin, the Squirrel Corn flower shows no pantaloon ! The flower is heart-shaped. The plant owes its name to the form of its kernel. |
Common Strawberry ( Fragaria virginiana )
The fruit is small but so sweet ! Do you know it belongs to the Rose family ? |
Northern white violet (Viola blanda)
Grows in wet woods and beside brooks. |
Wild Sarsaparilla (Aralia nudicaulis)
It is a partculiar plant. The flower is always under the leaves. Its stalk is nude. A Schtroumpf's favorite. |
Solomon's Seal ( Polygonatum biflorum )
Look how graceful it is. The greenish white twin flowers are characteristic. |
False Solomon's-seal ( Maianthemum racemosum )
Just admire ! |
Here flowers form a pyramidal cluster placed at the tip of the stem.

Goldthread (Coptis groenlandica)
A very small flower with thin white sepals, a long stem and evergreen leaves. |
