It has a new name now - Lamprocampnos [bit of a mouthful!] but you'll still find the info under Dicentra. I only grow the white ones, and they're superb for shady sites
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

My understanding is it is still Dicentra. It is just the large Dicentra spectabilis that have had the name change to Lamprocapnos spectabilis
I have a white D. Formosa with blue-ish foliage. It's a good filler in a semi-shady spot and does OK in dry soil too, but is more vigorous in damper conditions. I gave some to my Dad and it spreads more there. Here it is, coming up amongst the dying-down daffodils.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
