Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) is an early blooming but very ephemeral wildflower. The flowers last one or two days and then the petals drop off.

The red sap from the plant was used for dyes in earlier eras.

The plant contains the alkaloid Sanguinarine, which helps prevent plaque on teeth and is found in some toothpastes. Sanguinarine is also being researched due to its ability to kill cancer cells.
