Dutchman’s Breeches-Dicentra cucullaria
This is an annual share on Facebook and I thought, “Why not do it here?” 13 years ago and still my favorite shot of these beauties.

That really is a beauty. I especially like this photo, as it echos so many of your water (fall) shots with its cascading effect. Nicely done!

The flowers stick out of the dark background and thus create a three-dimensional effect.

I love those flowers – they grew in the woods near the home where I grew up, always a great sign of spring! 🙂

Thanks, M.B.! They grow in abundance where I made this photograph. I like them so much that I have planted them in our small woods behind the house.

Thanks! I only have a rough idea of where you are, Deborah, but my impression is that these don’t make it to your state. https://www.fs.usda.gov/wildflowers/plant-of-the-week/dicentra_cucullaria.shtml

Thanks, Belinda! The distribution map I shared with Deborah above only shows the U.S. but I believe these are probably in your neighborhood as well.

Every time I see this image, it seems more elegant. The combination of gold, white, and green is marvelous in its simplicity.
