On 27 May 2015, I had a volunteer shift and afterwards, as the sun was shining, I called in at the Reader Rock Garden, where I found these beautiful Bleeding Heart flowers. There was rain in the forecast so I thought I'd better make the most of the blue sky while I could. Alberta is bone dry everywhere, with wildfires especially further north. Since then, the last couple of days, it has been raining. So, much as I really dislike the rain, we desperately need it.
From the Garden, I drove through the adjoining Union Cemetery and then another nearby cemetery, and then called in at a wetland in SW Calgary.
A lot of people have a photo of Bleeding Heart flowers in their photostream - they are beautiful flowers. This garden is situated on a hillside and it's usually windy whenever I go there, lol, so these delicate branches of little pink hearts are a bit of a challenge to keep in the viewfinder.
"Lamprocapnos spectabilis also known as old-fashioned bleeding-heart, Venus's car, Lady in a bath, Dutchman's trousers, or Lyre-flower is a rhizomatous perennial plant native to eastern Asia from Siberia south to Japan. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus Lamprocapnos. It is a popular ornamental plant for flower gardens in temperate climates, and is also used in floristry as a cut flower for Valentine's Day. It usually has red heart-shaped flowers with white tips which droop from arching flower stems in late spring and early summer. White-flowered forms are also cultivated." From Wikipedia.

The bleeding hearts droop under the late April snow. The bleeding hearts aren't happy, but are bleeding hearts ever happy?

Bleeding muddy waters - Mark Lanegan
Muddy water
Rising up
You know I feel you
In my iron lung
Muddy water
Celestial flood
You know I feel you
In my iron lung
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

Here in Victoria, we have this persistent preoccupation with the weather. Much of the time we're bragging about it - celebrating flowers when most of the rest of the country is knee-deep in snow. But... come spring and summer... our attention turns to whining. And this is... apparently... a very old tradition.
I have a stack of Victoria Daily Colonists dating back to 1903. (How I came to have them is another story for another time.) Anyway, I had to laugh when I saw this ad for an ice cream parlour - in the July 26 issue - with a big headline asking, "Is It Ever Going to be Warm?"
How little things change in 105 years. After a couple of months of crying about the cold we've had so far in 2008 (and we have had record breaking cold weather), many in these parts are way revved up because the forecast for the next few days is... ready for it? Sunshine. Not just sunshine, but record-breaking temps. At least on Friday, and only away from the water. But still. Many people are keen to enjoy it... especially since it's supposed to all be over by Sunday.
Personally, I am looking forward to seeing the weather dry enough to finally get our lawns mowed. And yes, it would be nice (if the forecast is correct) to be able to go for a walk without a toque.
But cold wet weather has its advantages. My tulips are only just now giving up. And the other spring flowers are likewise enjoying a very long reign in the garden. Like these guys. And check the droplets. You don't get those from bright sunny skies.
So... yeah. Warm weather? Sure, bring it on. Cold? Wet? That's fine too. And hey... at least in these parts we're never short of topics for small talk.
Once two hearts found eachother, no-one should get between them otherwise
one bleeding heart will remain
Many locomotives operated by short-line railroads show some signs of a former owner's livery. In the case of this unit of the Decatur Junction Railroad it is the Family Lines System. The DJ operates several miles of the Illinois Central's Charter Line between Assumption, Illinois (where this photo as made) and Decatur, Illinois.

Romeo is Bleeding
Can't hold out forever
Romeo is Bleeding
Hurting for himself
Romeo is Bleeding
No pulling it together
Romeo is Bleeding
Why you die for love?...
