<< There are two native species of Corydalis that show up most frequently

that is
best described as a winter germinating weed. Mine have green foliage and
straw-yellow flowers and re-seed everywhere. Dormant by now.
===>That sounds like what I've got here, Gene. Mine are not quite dormant
yet, but they will be soon. I've dug a lot out, but it's not that hard to
dig, so I let a few remain so I always have some. They look decent at the
base of daffodil clumps (of which I have many, too many).
Bill, if you purchased a bronze-foliage small plant with light yellow
blooms,
I am going to bet you have C. cheilanthifolia. If so, you may want to
discard now
before it takes over your garden. Gets to about 2 feet or more in height, at
least
3 feet or more across, coarse looking in appearance and has a bazillion
seeds ...
all of which will germinate the first season in your garden.
===>Now you've scared me. I'll monitor this one.
