Unidentified Wildflower
Hello there, I was just wondering if any of you could help me by
specifically identifying the wildflower pictured in a href="http:// nonsequitur1979.blogspot.com/2007/06/thoughts-on-creativity-random- hike-pics.html#links"this blog post/a . Pictures #4 and #5... it looks like it's in the bleeding heart family. Photos were taken in the Upper Valley area of New Hampshire, United States. I've only seen this particular flower twice in my entire life, both times in obscure areas in the woods with decent afternoon sun exposure and well-drained soil... a lot of coniferous trees around. Thank you in advance, any help is appreciated. |

Thank you in advance, any help is appreciated. Hmm... It looks like what I'd imaging a hybrid of Dutchman's breeches (Dicentra cucullaria) and plumy bleeding heart (D. exima) might turn out to be. I'd suggest it is unusual enough to contact the New England Wild Flower Society (or a local nature society or university) about it. If it is a rarity, they would certainly be interested in knowing where you found it growing. (If it is previously unknown, maybe it will be named for you!) I found a rare plant list for New Hampshire, which only lists one species of Dicentra (D. canadensis) but lists that with a state ranking of '2' which means: "Imperiled because rarity (generally six to 20 occurrences) or other factors demonstrably make it very vulnerable to extinction." http://www.dred.state.nh.us/division...naturalheritag e/documents/TrackingList-PlantTechnical.pdf (or use http://tinyurl.com/2r3adr) New England Wild Flower Society: http://newfs.org -- Pat in Plymouth MI ('someplace.net' is comcast) Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
