Eastern North American native perennial Stylophorum diphyllum is a woodland wildflower uncommonly used in ornamental practices that prefers moist but well-drained, organic soils and dappled to heavy shade conditions. A member of Papaveraceae known commonly as the Wood Poppy and occasionally the Celandine Poppy, the flowers might not give it away, but the seedpods sure will: bristly, hairy-looking seed pods that resemble smaller versions of those that belong to larger Oriental Poppies add ornamental interest to the deeply lobed, lightly pubescent foliage long after the blooms have dissipated. The yellow, four-petaled flowers on touchably hairy stems first begin to appear around mid-April, blooming well into June and inviting various native bees to enjoy their nectar.  Happy stands of Stylophorum diphyllum will self-seed and create a naturalized appearance in open, deciduous forests.
