    At first I thought that these were bleeding hearts, but I am not so sure after looking at some pictures. Can anyone ID these?

    Thanks in advance,

    They certainly are Dicentra, not sure which species off-hand.

    Western Bleeding Heart (Dicentra formosa)?

    Yes, but an alba form; they're often pink.

    Oh, OK, until I enlarged the second photo I didn't see the pinkish. They're usually pretty dusky pink so these looked white in comparison to me. My mistake.
