Looks very like my C. solida, which is also blooming now and goes
dormant as hot weather approaches. This is one of the bulbous types.
Root around in the soil and see if you don't find a nice bunch of
bulbs - or maybe they're more correctly corms or tubers.
Mine are about the same color as your photo. I think they're lovely
tho' I have read so many comments about 'washy'...maybe ours are not
the 'washy' ones and I've just not seen them. Seems like those who
complain are looking for bright pink or purple or something.
Nice thing about this one is that you can spread it around easily by
just separating the bulbs/corms/tubers and moving them where you want
more, tho' mine tends to seed around a good bit near the mother
clump. Actually, I have 2 clumps. One was sent me by a friend in
Holland and I have no clue where the other one came from. Color is
close on both, but not identical and the one from Holland doesn't
seem to seed around as much???
IMO, this is one of the Corydalis you can't have too many of....
