![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I haven’t found either of them at Ozarkedge. The Dicentra familiy includes Bleeding Heart ( Dicentra eximia) and Squirrel Corn ( Dicentra canadensis). Latin name/Common name- The Latin name is Dicentra cucullaria. And this year- I’ve found even more of their favorite places. Now I know just where and when to find them. I nearly stepped on them, but knew right away what a treasure I’d found. What a lucky break to be out hiking during their bloom time. You can imagine how amazed I was when I first discovered them blooming on Ozarkedge a few springs ago. I remember reading about these plants as a young girl and thinking that they seemed magical and not real at all. Their fascinating bloom really looks like a row of pantaloons hung out to dry. Dutchman’s Breeches have to be right up at the top of the list of interesting wildflowers. ![]()
