Description
These plants are called Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) also known as Puccoon or Red Puccoon, Indian Paint, Redroot, Pauson and Tetterwort. If you break the stem it releases a blood red fluid that is actually an Escharotic. This is a fancy word for something that dissolves flesh. It is not very potent however and has been known to cure blemishes such as worts, or ringworm. Due to such a nature research is being done on its effects on cancer.Related content

Well I try. I even used to have a marking sheet XD I prefer to be honest where I can. I just try not to be brutally honest which I used to do at this other art reviewing place. Some people didn't like it -.-
