ghost flowers


I'm nearly certain this beautiful flower picture didn't get the attention it deserved back when it was taken by Erik at the last Berkeley botanic garden trip. (I would love if anyone could tell me what they're called.)

    After researching blue/purple wildflowers online, I'm pretty sure that these flowers are a kind of Corydalis. I looked at the list of Corydalis specimens on the Berkeley Botanical Garden website. And then I googled those names for images to compare to Erik's photo. My best guess is that they are Corydalis linstowiana or else just Corydalis.

    You are a master researcher! Thank you from the bottom of my flower-loving, Ellen-loving heart.
