Bleeding Hearts in the garden are now fully open.

I've been taking macros of our "bleeding heart" plants, as the flowers develop. Here are a few of my shots.

One of the first perennials to show in the garden, caught in bright sunlight and no wind, allowing me to get in close with a macro set on a tripod.

In full bloom for only a short time while it's relatively cool in spring. These are in my front yard.

Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover where your fears are. Once the bleeding starts, the cleansing can begin.

It's easy to see the origin of bleeding heart's common name when you get a look at its heart-shape pink or white blooms with a protruding tip at the base of the heart. They grow best in partial to full shade in moist, well-drained soil. Some types bloom only in spring and others bloom spring, summer, and fall, provided temperatures aren't too high.

I thank you for the views and comments, have a wonderful day!
