Bleeding Gods - Metaldays 2018

Bleeding Heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis) is a member of the poppy family Papaveraceae, native to Siberia, northern China, Korea and Japan. It is a very early bloomer.

I'm a bit behind with posting these - when I took these there was actually some sunshine around!

Proper name is 'Lamprocapnas spectabilis'. Also known as 'Old fashioned bleeding heart', 'Venus's Car', 'Lady in a bath' and 'Dutchman's trousers'!

It's a popular ornamental plant for gardens with temperate climates and is also used by florists for Valentines Day.

Info: Wikipedia.

One of many shots that I took. Will post more soon!

It wouldn't be spring without at least one post of Bleeding hearts in bloom. These flowers, in the poppy family, have the very formal sounding scientific name of Lamprocapnos spectabilis . I get the last name, they are a spectacle aren't they?

Bleeding Gods - Metaldays 2018

I'm bleeding out

So if the last thing that I do

Is bring you down

I'll bleed out for you

So I bare my skin

And I count my sins

And I close my eyes

And I take it in

I'm bleeding out

I'm bleeding out for you, for you

When the day has come

That I've lost my way around

And the seasons stop

And hide beneath the ground

When the sky turns gray

And everything is screaming

I will reach inside

Just to find my heart is beating

Oh, you tell me to hold on

Oh, you tell me to hold on

But innocence is gone

And what was right is wrong

'Cause I'm bleeding out

So if the last thing that I do

Is bring you down

I'll bleed out for you

So I bare my skin

And I count my sins

And I close my eyes

And I take it in

And I'm bleeding out

I'm bleeding out for you, for you

When the hour is nigh

And hopelessness is sinking in

And the wolves all cry

To fill the night with hollering

When your eyes are red

And emptiness is all you know

With the darkness fed

I will be your scarecrow

You tell me to hold on

Oh, you tell me to hold on

But innocence is gone

And what was right is wrong

'Cause I'm bleeding out

So if the last thing that I do

Is bring you down

I'll bleed out for you

So I bare my skin

And I count my sins

And I close my eyes

And I take it in

And I'm bleeding out

I'm bleeding out for you, for you

I'm bleeding out for you, for you

I'm bleeding out for you, for you

I'm bleeding out for you, for you

I'm bleeding out for you

'Cause I'm bleeding out

So if the last thing that I do

Is bring you down

I'll bleed out for you

So I bare my skin

And I count my sins

And I close my eyes

And I take it in

And I'm bleeding out

I'm bleeding out for you, for you

I didn't take this photo, but I did find this specimen. I'd never seen one before, but recognized it from the book.

We have a large bleeding heart that we planted 3 years ago in our front yard, it's getting huge! Here's a more abstract version: Bleeding Heart Blur.

This cypress tree is bleeding resin!

And it's draining all of me

Oh, they find it hard to believe

I'll be wearing these scars

For everyone to see

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

One thing so great about photography is that it gets me to notice things I might overlook - and often I get to learn the names of plants, too! Such was the case with these beautiful bleeding hearts I spotted in a neighborhood yard.

Dicentra formosa (Pacific bleeding heart, western bleeding heart). What started as a small grouping has now spread around the yard, sometimes with a little help...

Bleeding Hearts

I visited one of my favorite places yesterday, Minnetrista. I photographed these Bleeding Hearts with my iPhone5s.

Here is the plant in full bloom

I always try to do something different with the bleeding hearts....they're coming out now.....it's going down to 27 tonight....:{(

my roommate broke a red swirly glass cup...

Another flower picture, but I don't think I've taken pictures of bleeding hearts before, flowers or otherwise.

I have never seen our plants bloom like this before!

Bleeding hearts bloom in my garden today. They don't seem to be bothered by the very chilly weather.

I have several photos from 2010 that I had planned to upload to Flickr. Over the next little while I will be uploading these favourites from 2010.

Bleeding Gods - Metaldays 2018

... before the dogs who live upstairs trampled them. :( This plant is so fragile! My landlady did put up a little fence around my garden patch under the oak tree and it seems to be recovering from the repeated winter trampling, as you can see from the photos below, but this plant it outside of the garden.

I did bring the broken flower stems inside to put in water, which probably meant I got to see them more than if they'd stayed outside.
