Today I feel like this cherry...

Take Care

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.

Endemic to the Philippine Island of Luzon. This one resides in the Dan Moran Aviary at the OKC Zoo. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Viewed this way up, the flowers can easily be seen as 'Bleeding hearts', but turn them upside-down and they become 'Lady in The Bath', looking a little like a lady sitting in a bathtub washing her hair!
One a Week, week 15.
Lamprocapnos spectabilis is a species of flowering plant in the poppy family Papaveraceae, native to Siberia, northern China, Korea and Japan. This photo was taken in the gardens of Schloss Hof, Austria
Is it just me, or does anyone else instantly think of chickens hanging upside down when seeing these flowers?
A Japanese legend is one version of how the bleeding heart flower came to be. A young man tried to win the love of a young lady. He did this by giving a pair of rabbits (which are the first two petals of the flower), a pair of earrings (which are the next two petals of the flower), and finally a pair of slippers (which are the last two petals of the flower) to the girl. She continued to reject his affections, and, heart-broken, he pierced his heart with his sword (the middle part of the flower), which caused the heart to bleed.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments.
