"Not worth revisiting,
No respite for a heart bleeding,
I'm uncomfortably numb."
- Sudhamshu
No idea what this flower is called. The closest looking flower was called Bleeding hearts!
Tiffany and I drove in separate cars across the country to get to Philadelphia. We had a contest to see who could eat there never-ending sucker the fastest. Although I worked at it so hard my tongue was bleeding Tiff still beat me.
Technique - bleeding tissue wrinkled, torn, and placed on paper. Wet with Q-tip and let to dry. The ink will transfer to the paper in fun patterns.
From right to left: A new Bleeding Heart "develops", and gradually becomes less intense in colour. Eventually, it stops "bleeding" and becomes a pod that contains many seeds for new lives.
here is it. that moment, that year, when everything crashes down; when the very things that hold you together are falling apart. that's the time you need something, one thing, anything to remind you of beauties of reality. but it just always seems to be the time you have nothing, and nothing will show it's self, nothing will show you this beauty. you will look around this world you live in and see ugly people in an ugly world and ugly lives-everything is just so disgusting. stress, stress, so much stress. anxiety takes you over, thoughts here, thoughts there-there is just too much going on. something is here, something is gone. you can count on nothing. everything hurts, and nothing is pretty. one person can only take so much. and it gets to the point where it feels like your mind is bleeding, bleeding out everything, every memory, every thought, every pain. but it only hurts you more. so you sit there in a puddle of blood and agony and think back and realize, you cant remember one moment of your pathetic life you have lived so far.
Dicentra Formosa ~ Western or Pacific Bleeding Heart
The pink, heart-shaped flowers of this plant define the pacific bleeding heart (Dicentra formosa). While the flowers are not as showy as some of the popular ornamental varieties, the plant as a whole is still beautiful and offers great benefits to a variety of wildlife. Growing 8-18″ high, the plant is a perennial which dies back to the ground in the winter and is usually found in wetter settings such as forests, ravines and along creeks. The leaves are deeply cut which gives the foliage a delicate, lacy, fern-like appearance. The flowers, which stand only slightly higher than the foliage, droop downwards in small groups and are pink, heart-shaped with four petals creating a sac with spurs on the end and appear from April to June. The fruit is a seed capsule which contains several black, shiny seeds.
Bleeding heart is native to the west coast from British Columbia south to central California, mostly on the west side of the mountains and at lower to mid-level elevations. Bleeding heart requires soil which is porous, rich in humus and moist, but without standing water around the roots. It grows well in mostly shady conditions and is a good plant choice for tough conditions under other plants or trees. It’s a rather fragile plant and doesn’t do well with heavy foot traffic and so should be planted in quiet, low traffic areas or in containers. www.metrofieldguide.com/?p=1214

I really like the quote on the photo, but thought I would try a crop and see if that looked any better. Sadly, I don't have the original of this photo as it was one of the thousands of files I lost a few months ago.

Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen
But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melted to the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking around
Thinking I'm going crazy
But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vain
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
(...)
Leona Lewis
"But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love"

A profusion of bleeding hearts this week as the weather has been a bit warmer than normal. Their deep pink heart-shaped drooping flowers express fidelity and elegance.
