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). #scoulerscorydalis #corydalisscouleri #papaveraceae #plants #botany #plantsofinstagram #plantsplantsplants #flowers #wildflowers (at Carnation, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/pnw_botany/p/BxODqYPFdhF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pa8m49blb2nr -- source link
