Bleeding hearts (Lamprocapnos spectabilis; formerly known as Dicentra spectabilis) are shade-loving woodland plants that bloom in the cool of spring. Although they stay in bloom for several weeks, the plants often become ephemeral, disappearing for the rest of the summer if exposed to too much sun or heat.
Canon FL 55mm f1.2 is one of those rare lenses that produce flare that I do not like. There is noting ineresting , inexpected or magic happenng. Just a part of image looses contrast fully or partially. It needs to be controlled as much as possible.
Dicentra spectabilis 'Valentine' is a newer variety of this gardenplant of Asian origin. Blooms in the spring and goes dormant afterwards.
Lamprocapnos spectabilis, bleeding heart or Asian bleeding-heart, is a species of flowering plant in the poppy family Papaveraceae, native to Siberia, northern China, Korea and Japan. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus Lamprocapnos, but is still widely referenced under its old name Dicentra spectabilis (now listed as a synonym). It is valued in gardens and in floristry for its heart-shaped pink and white flowers, borne in spring.
The Asian bleeding-heart grows to 120 cm (47 in) tall by 45 cm (18 in) wide. It is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial with 3-lobed compound leaves on fleshy green to pink stems. The arching horizontal racemes of up to 20 pendent flowers are borne in spring and early summer. The outer petals are bright fuchsia-pink, while the inner ones are white. The flowers strikingly resemble the conventional heart shape, with a droplet beneath – hence the common name. The plant sometimes behaves as a spring ephemeral, going dormant in summer.

. . . On a warm, rainy, thunder in the distance afternoon, the Bleeding Hearts really add a splash of color to the day! Best viewed from underneath on a water proof blanket, with mosquito repellant caked on! Enjoy!!
Have a great weekend Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!

The late evening light shines through to light deep inside of my Dicentra or bleeding hearts plant. Each year this lovely flower gets cut back at the end of the season and comes back the following spring bigger and better than before. Every year I take umpteen photos of the hanging hearts so it would be rude not to share some.
Dedicated to my wonderful wife, which is away for a few days. Love you my dear!

Ohio Central ZVNK moves east at a snails pace through Hanover, with about 5,000ft of train in tow. You can see the Conrail Quality logo bleeding through on the side of 4095, as well as the Conrail text on the nose.
