for sixty years if not more, and has never
missed a spring without rising and spreading
itself into a grassy bush, with many small red
hearts dangling. Don't you think that deserves
a little thought? "
A note on May 7, 2025: Unfortunately, the bleeding-heart plant that produced the lovely dangling hearts in this image did not thrive for such a long time. I miss it, still; and I'm glad I made many photos of it while it was thriving.
