In warmer climes bloodroot has a flower.

Some goo made from bloodroot removes tumors it's smeared on, plus any hair that was there.

"In warmer climes bloodroot has a flower."

It does in cooler climes as well. Ephemeral on one of the earliest blooming woodland plants here, the flowers of Bloodroot are now past. The plant colonizes in an interesting process known as myrmecochory.

I like bloodroot, except that it disappears completely and inevitably is dug up when moving other plants in or out.

Colgate-Palmolive used to put bloodroot, Sanguinaria, in one or more of its dental products. It is believed by herbalists to be an effecrive dental curative. They quit about the time in the late 80's, early 90's when the alternative/herbal culture was being threatened by the FDA.
It is quite toxic in any but the tiniest dosages.
