White Dutchman's Trousers

Lamprocapnos spectabilis 'Alba'

Description:

The leaves are lobed like a fern and the white, heart-shaped flowers that are 1–2 inches (3–5 cm) long on a nearly leafless stalk.

Habitat:

Residential landscaping. "Native to eastern Asia from Siberia south to Japan." - Wikipedia

Notes:

This was formerly Dicentra spectabilis. "It is a popular ornamental plant for flower gardens in temperate climates, and is also used in floristry as a cut flower. In a moist and cool climate, it will grow in full sun, but in warmer and drier climates it requires some shade." - Wikipedia

I've never seen a completely white bleeding heart before, the ones that I have seen in redwood forests have always had red and pink parts on the lower petals.
