Dutchman's Breeches (Dicentra cucullaria)
I've always found these blooming together with their cousin species, Squirrel
Corn. But today, while the Squirrel Corn was at peak bloom, The Dutchman's
Breeches were almost completely bloomed out. After seeing lots of seed pods,
I'd given up on finding any blooms, but then found three remaining flowers.
