Pink Corydalis, Corydalis sempervirens
The ¾ inch-long flowers of this delicate looking member of the Poppy Family are a lovely combination of pink and yellow. This plant was rescued this spring from a site in Newton that was scheduled for construction. The species is listed as a Middlesex County native in The Vascular Plants of Massachusetts: A County Checklist by Bruce A. Sorrie and Paul Somers
