I used to have this plant in my old garden. After I planting & watering it every day, a month later, it was gone. I asked my hubby what happened? Guess what? he thought it was weeds that he yanked it out. Good thing he didn't take out the entire roots that it did come back next year and very much alive.
Today I found one of these at the nursery, I love such, will plant it again in the garden I've been planing to create at where I live now.

From my photowalk around Nelson Atkins and Kauffman Gardens from yesterday. I was hoping to get a few water droplets on the tulips from the rains we've been experiencing. Some of the flower beds around the tulips have really come into their own adding some mix to the frame. It was also nice to see a field trip happening at the museum. Normal feels good.
You may question my composition here, I did. I wanted to isolate the flower from its close neighbor so it is close to the left edge. I considered cropping the empty space and create a verticle format but I really liked the bokeh so I decided to break the rules of composition for artistic expression. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Because I had six frames left on the film, I came up with the idea of photographing flowers. Of course you can't see the great colors in B&W - but I was curious about the results.
The film was a T-Max 400 - not ideal for the sunshine that day, especially since my Graflex lens only goes to 1/200s. So I had to close the aperture more than I would have liked. But the results were ok.

My red Bleeding Heart cultivar 'Valentine' is blooming beautifully in my garden right now, reminding me that I am a proud bleeding heart liberal who despises the cruelty and stupidity of our current president., and all the horrible wars in the world.
