Walking around the block, I caught a glimpse of what I thought was a tiny bleeding heart plant (
Dicentra sp.) already in bloom. A closer look showed it was prairie smoke (
Geum triflorum)—the first time I've seen this in bloom in real life. I found out later that when my mom was growing up in Saskatchewan they actually did call this wildflower "bleeding heart".

Unfortunately, my prairie smoke is nowhere near the blooming stage yet.
