Pink and white

Dutchman's breeches in my deep shade garden:

Dicentra spectabilis var. "Alba"

Laurie has the sunny side, and his "Breeches" are pink:

Now re-named Lamprocapros spectabilis
These are also known as Bleeding Heart; they're a relative of our native woodland Dicentra formosa. Other names include Lady's locket, Lyre flower, and Lady in the Bath.

  1. I hadn't realised dicentra comes in white as well as pink.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
