Corydalis solida
Growing to 25 cm, it is a spring ephemeral, with foliage that appears in spring and dies down to its tuberous rootstock in summer. It is cultivated for its deeply divided, ferny leaves and narrow, long-spurred flowers which appear in spring. The flowers show color variation, and may be mauve, purple, red, or white. White is pretty rare at least around this micro-locations where the whole forest's floor is purple-pink colored and just few of white pops out.
Native to moist, shady habitats in northern Europe and Asia.
