Description
I spotted this little cluster of leaves on an overcast and drizzly day in early spring when my husband and I were enjoying a walk around the boardwalk at Fontenelle Forest Nature Preserve in Bellevue, Nebraska. These are the deep-cut, fern-like leaves of Dicentra cucullaria, a wildflower popularly known as Dutchman's Britches or Breeches. The damp, dark forest floor provided a perfect background for showing off the delicate trio, beaded with droplets from the misty rain.
