Well, the weather this week has been quite crappy; cold and wet. As a result the spring flowers have gone into a stall. Although not completely because the microclimate down there close to the ground doesn't change much. This plant doesn't exactly look like a member of the Poppy family but it is. The flower is also bilaterally symmetrical on two axes, which is a bit unusual. This is quite a common spring flower here abouts. This is Dicentra cucullaria Dutchman's breeches. And darned if the flowers don't look a bit like pantaloons and the whole plant if about as cute as flowers get. Note the finely lobed somewhat vaguely fern-like foliage. The plant arises from a pink corm just beneath the surface of the soil.
