the Circle

over on the other side of the Circle these came into bloom about a week ago.  to my untrained eye they look a bit like Dicentra, and when I finally got around to asking after them it turns out they are indeed a variety of it, though not the more usual D. spectrabilis.  don't take my word for it, though, I ain't no botanist.

Dicentra cucullaria

I got a cool photo a couple of years ago that had seeds, spent flowers, and fresh flowers all on the stem. :-)
