Scrambled Eggs
Corydalis curvisiliqua, also known as curvepod fumewort, large-bracted corydalis, or scrambled eggs, is a North American native wildflower that is found in a variety of habitats, including prairies, plains, foothills, mesas, and open woodlands. It is a winter annual or biennial plant, meaning that it germinates in the fall and flowers in the spring.
Corydalis curvisiliqua is a small plant, typically growing to be 6-16 inches tall. It has erect stems with compound leaves that are divided into many leaflets. The flowers are pale yellow and about 1 inch long. They are arranged in racemes on the upper part of the stem. One of the petals has a short, straight, saclike spur at the base. They are a popular wildflower for gardens because of its bright yellow flowers and its tolerance of dry conditions. It is also a good choice for pollinator gardens, as it attracts bees and butterflies.
