A couple years after planting 'Blackberry Wine' in our woodland garden area, it apparently disappeared. Then a year later, I found a plant (see photo left) in a completely different area of the garden that had no obvious origin, and was closest in appearance to this corydalis. It looks a little different in flower coloration and structure, as well as leaf appearance, so I don't think this is the same species, but I'll tuck it onto this page until I figure things out.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
