Dicentra spectabilis ’Alba’
Another plant seen in Royal Botanic Garden Madrid, April 2018
According to various sources on the Internet this plant likes shaded areas
I have not been able to find a reference to this plant in THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN but Dicentra formosa is mentioned a few times
Go to THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN number 74, October 2013 and read AUTUMN IN A CALIFORNIA GARDEN by Katherine Greenberg
There are some photos of this garden here

It's a lovely thing but not one I've been brave enough to try here! It looks too delicate and I couldn't succeed with it even when I was in Melbourne.
I see the taxonomists have been at it again and renamed it Lamprocapnos spectabilis!
cheers
