My Plants&Flowers set
We have a single Bleeding Heart plant in our backyard and for a few brief days every year, the hearts pour out. And then, they are gone and I become heart-broken. Less than an inch (~2cm) in length, they are small fragile little wonders.
We also bought bleeding hearts for the garden, but they were planted in late spring, so these three little ones were the only flowers we have seen so far.
Interestingness #104 on July 2, 2014.
. . . I love it when these flowers pop up next to our garage! According to one of my friends, the red hearts break (bleed) at the bottom to allow the white parts out.
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
Flower is an inch across at its widest.
Dicentra, possibly D. spectabilis a native of Japan.
Grows especially vigorously and self-seeds.

I've been taking macros of our "bleeding heart" plants, as the flowers develop. Here are a few of my shots.
The future, as everyone knows
Is where we're gonna be spending the rest of our life
Who said the future is closed
Never saw the promise in her eyes… liberty
And I’m running my mouth off
Running my mouth off
It's not poetry
And I’m running my mouth off again
Picture - heaven is closed
All the classroom prophets gone to ground
Schoolgirl says everyone knows
Love is a verb and not a noun
Or so it seems
It has me running my mouth off
Running my mouth off
It’s not poetry
But I’m running my mouth off again
One life at a time
Picture - heaven is closed
All the classroom prophets gone to ground
Schoolgirl says everyone knows
Love is a verb and not a noun
Or so it seems
It has me running my mouth off
Running my mouth off
It’s not poetry
But I’m running my mouth off again
Don't sleep, don't even think about it
No need, maybe a little bit
Still dream, About wakin' up free
As we can be
Forget whatever doesn't fit
Regret, regret none of it
Don't bet on gettin' rid of me
Yours eternally
What you can’t kill can't die
America will rise
Against the people of the lie
I love you more
Than hate loves war
I love you more
Than hate loves war
(War, war)
P.S. What if every human’s pain were visible in the form of red blood? What if every person bleeding on the inside was bleeding on the outside? What if we were drowning, walking in each other’s blood? Would we understand each other better and the meaning of agony better?
Not trying to turn a beautiful evening in NYC into bloody imagery, especially with ESB lights for the women's Olympics team… just trying to say that this world is a beautiful place, and it would be even more beautiful if people, instead of hating, put more effort into loving.
People, people, people, you know what it means to be left alone ...
No letter today, not even a call on my telephone ...
Elmore James, 1961
Hope these beautiful bleeding hearts brighten your Valentine's Day, especially if you are alone.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

I created the heart using an LED flashlight and a 30 second shutter speed. The red portion comes from the light illuminating the blood in my fingers.
