2019 Photograph, Dutchman's Breeches (Dicentra cucullaria, Poppy family, Papaveraceae), Carder Rock, Potomac, Maryland, © 2019.
This early Spring plant is named for the whimsical appearance of its flowers which resemble old Dutch pantaloons hung out to dry.
Flowers on front spike are still opening, while those on the spike in back are aging.
