So with Covid – I haven’t been able to get out an photograph this year the way I usually do. Instead I’m working my way back through unedited photos on my hard drive – and seeing what I find. Here I’ll be sharing some photos of wildflowers I’ve taken

Dutchman’s Breeches © 2021 Patty Hankins
Dutchman’s Breeches (Dicentra cucullaria) are a wonderful spring wildflower. They bloom here in the woods here n the DC area in March and April, at roughly the same time as the Spring Beauty blooms, and shortly before the Virginia Bluebells open up. They are easy to spot – just look for the soft frilly leaves with a stalk with white and yellow flowers sticking up. The flowers are pantaloon shaped, reminiscent of traditional Dutch men’s trousers – hence the name Dutchman’s Breeches. They are native to much of the Eastern United States, and the Pacific Northwest. So next spring, keep an eye out for Dutchman’s Breeches as you walk in the wood enjoying the spring wildflowers.
I photographed these Dutchman’s Breeches at Jenkins Arboretum and Gardens in Devon, Pennsylvania

Ok – so I’m giving up on trying to organize posts by type of flower – and will just do it by season at least for a while. There are lots of posts with just a few photos lined up – and at the rate I’m going – I may never get enough photos for an entire post dedicated to a specific type of flower.
So – here are some of the wonderful spring flowers and scenes I’ve photographed at various gardens over the years
