On second glance, the guy at the top is probably not standing at his open refrigerator.

What is that flower? Breeches plant?

Dutchman's breeches.

quote:
Dicentra cucullaria (Dutchman's breeches) is a perennial herbaceous plant, native to rich woods of eastern North America, with a disjunct population in the Columbia Basin.[1]

The common name Dutchman's breeches derives from their white flowers that look like white breeches.


Other members of the dicentra family:

I knew about Dutchmen’s Breeches, but didn’t realize that they were in the dicentra family!
