And behold: Bloodroot in the MRG Overpass Garden on Mascoma Street. Bloodroot is a perennial flowering plant native to Eastern North America. It has no nectar, but its pollen is sought by mining bees and sweat bees. Deer, woodchucks, and turkeys also use blooodroot as a food source. The flowers open their petals to the sun when the temperature reaches 46 degrees Fahrenheit. This was late afternoon and chilly; the petals were already closing.
