Loving Me Some Ephemerals

#342 - Yellow Fumewort (Corydalis flavula )
This flower is brand new for me.
It is in same family as Dutchman's Breeches
and Squirrel Corn. All three were in the same area.  
I had 2 1/2 hours to kill after work and before a Board of Ed meeting so  I contemplated several areas that I could hike and see ephemeral wildflowers. It had snowed last week and hit 15 degrees one night so I thought they might be damaged or non-existent. One area that I love in April was too far, one was closed due to wildfire so I settled on a new area with a dirt road and near the river, thus lower elevation. I made the perfect choice, everything that I usually see in several different places were all here. So. below and many pictures and one new wildflower for this blog as I attempt to photograph every wildflower that I can find in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia.
