Sanguinaria canadensis could be the poster child for the word "ephemeral" since the blossoms only last 4 or 5 days.  A beautiful flower one day and a scatter of silken petals the next.  The scalloped leaves persist for a short while and then retreat underground for another year.  Short-lived but worth the wait.
