Susan,
Don't be too sad, it is a short lived flower. A much desired and loved
plant , but a short lived flower. It is native on our property or was until
the deer cleaned it out. Add other wildflowers with it so the short life of
bloodroot is not so diaappointing. I am sure Gene will give you a good
combination. Even here in the north when we have a the more normal cool
April, it is short lived flower. It is considered a connoisseur's plant
amongst the alpiners so feel very accomplished. A few smaller ferns might be
good.
