Botany Photo of the Day will have brief written entries on weekends, holidays and my vacations from April through September. – Daniel

Scouler's corydalis or western corydalis is native to British Columbia, Washington and Oregon (Corydalis scouleri in Flora of North America). More images are available to view via the Burke Museum.

Lastly, for local readers, here's one final mention of tomorrow's Perennial Plant Sale. Corydalis scouleri will be available.

Corydalis scouleri - Z6 - RHS Index of Garden Plants, Griffiths

Karen Vaughan commented:

I wonder if it has the anodyne qualities of Corydalis yanhusuo, which is considered equivalent to morphine in Chinese medicine.

Kicki commented:

Scary plant that looks like a rattle snake!! AGGHH!! Um, I like the fairy slipper plant(Calypso Bulbosa). If you could show pictures of that flower, it would be wonderful!

Thanks,
Kicki.
