🌿 Scouler's Corydalis 🌸 Corydalis scouleri 🍃 Papaveraceae 🌺 One of the most beautiful wildflowers I've ever seen! I am so in love 💖

Corydalis scouleri (Scouler's Corydalis)

This little wildflower is named after Dr. John Scouler, who accompanied David Douglas on his botanical expeditions to the Pacific Coast of North America, in the 1820′s and 1830′s.

These specimens of Scouler's Corydalis (Corydalis Scouleri) are among the first wildflowers that I have photographed for my wildflower photography project when I had far less experience with a camera. These lovely plants were growing on wet rocky cliffs and river banks in Silver Falls State Park. Corydalis belongs to the Poppy Family (Papeveraceae).

Scouler's Corydalis, Corydalis scouleri

Right when I was about to search for this flower to ID it NW Wildflowers did a blog post about it. I love this blog so much and you might too if you love plants. This plant was giving off a bit of a stinky odder. I think this is why I had little flies on it. The leaves looked much like those of a bleeding heart. So pretty.

Corydalis scouleri..

photo implies a more diminutive stature than this plant’s actual size..

hey there, this was me! I did Aquilegia formosa, Irix tenax, Lupinus polyphyllus, and colorful cultivars of Achillea millefolium. I tried some others, though, that I've had great luck with! I particularly am fond of Campanula rotundifolia, Penstemon serrulatus, and Clarkia amoena. The campanula and penstemon do WORK, they're incredibly pretty and flower for a long time. I highly recommend both.

I do have a shade pot where I grow some less showy plants, like Corydalis scouleri, Dicentra formosa, and Asarum caudatum. I also have Cornus unalaschkensis in a pot, but I've found it does better in the ground.

I have a non-draining pot primarily with nonnative pitcher plants and hardy orchids, but I also have a Mitellastra caulescens and Scutellaria lateriflora in there. It's not remotely showy lol but the pitcher plants make up for those.

I grow Lonicera ciliosa, incidentally, but I've found it to become somewhat scraggly in the summertime, and it's prone to leaf miners. The lupine suffers Liriomyza leafminer infection, but fortunately it doesn't seem as susceptible to powdery mildew as nonnative hybrid lupine cultivars.

Hey there! I recently moved to to a property owned by my fiance's family in the greater Seattle area, and there are a lot of empty pots on site. I'd like to plant native plants in them, but my fiance's family would definitely prefer showy nonnatives like geraniums and petunias. Do you have any ideas of long-lasting (not ephemeral like camas - I grow those in a meadow format, but I wouldn't use them in a pot) and showy (absolutely no fringecup or piggy-back plant lol) native flowers for partly-shaded to full sun pots?

You can grow achillea millefolium, or any kind of lupine potentially. Achillea might not be showy enough, but they at least have a long bloom time. Big leaf lupine have very showy purple flowers and cute palmate leaves year round. Irix tenax is a native iris that's very showy. Western columbine (Aquilegia formosa) is also pretty popular everywhere. Lonicera hispidula is pink honeysuckle, which is a vine you can train and it keeps it's leaves year-round. Lonicera ciliosa has more flowers but is deciduous in winter time, so its vine just look like dead sticks till spring. Both big hummingbird plants. You can have beach strawberry around anything else you grow too, to help keep weeds down. Granted I've never tried planting any of these in containers so I have no idea how they do. (except achillea can probably do whatever it wants to be honest, it doesnt care hahaha)

If you have bigger containers you can mess with small shrubs but I just stuck with forbs here since you mentioned looking for alternatives to petunias and such.

We built a planter box so we can have some native plants on our stone patio in Seattle! Plant list below:

Trillium ovatum (Trillium) Corydalis scouleri (Corydalis) Cornus canadensis (Bunchberry) Asarum caudatum (Wild ginger) Tellima grandiflora (Fringecup) Petasites frigidus (Palmate coltsfoot) Fragaria vesca (Woodland Strawverry) Polystichum munitum (Sword fern) Blechnum spicant (Deer fern) Maianthemum dilatatum (False lily of the valley) Oxalis Oregana (Redwood sorrel)

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

Scouler’s Corydalis, Corydalis scoulerii. Papaveraceae family. Carnation, Washington. 4/24/15

low-key pot with a Mitellastra caulescens mitrewort and Scutellaria lateriflora, plus song sparrow lol It's not much to look at, but it's a nice spot of green between decorative nonnatives

Asarum caudatum

Corydalis scouleri

Lysimachia latifolia

Clarkia amoena, which I grow with my nonnatives because it has sparse foliage

I'll show a picture of the front garden where I have the Lonicera, Campanula rotundifolia, and Iris tenax in the spring, hopefully! Now that it's winter, they're quite sad to look at lol
