Dicentra cucullaria

Dutchman’s Breeches in Early Spring by Todd Henson

Hanging out the laundry

Scattered every so often amongst the Virginia bluebells I wrote about last week were these wonderful little Dutchman’s breeches, or britches, more formally known as Dicentra cucullaria. I’d hoped to find some close enough to the bluebells that I could include both in a photo, but that was not to be on this trip. Even so, I was pleased with what I walked away with, especially given the wind that day.
