Scouler’s Corydalis, Corydalis scouleri (Papaveraceae). These beautiful members of the poppy family are named in honor of Scottish botanist John Scouler (1804-1871). The genus name Corydalis comes from the Greek korudallis, meaning “crested lark”. These flowers do show a resemblance to the spurs on a lark! (Not to be confused with the genus Delphinium, AKA the larkspurs).

This adorable little member of the mustard family is lovingly called “frog plant” by myself and my colleagues because the leaves resemble the feet of our Pacific Tree Frog

Happy Wildflower Week!
Originally founded in 1988, National Wildflower Week (May 7–13) aims to celebrate the beauty and role of the hundreds of native wildflowers across the United States. In addition to beautifying their surroundings, wildflowers help conserve water, protect soil from erosion, and serve as valuable habitat areas for migratory butterflies and birds.
While native plants and wildflowers generally require fewer resources to grow than cultivated plants, they can become at risk from habitat loss and invasive species that compete with them.
