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.
Said if it's the last thing that I do
Is to 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 day has come
But 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
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
Said if it's the last thing that I do
Is to 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.
Surprisingly, to me anyway, Lamprocapnos spectabilis is a member of the Poppy family, but is the sole species in the genus Lamprocapnos, however it's still widely known under its old name of Dicentra spectabilis.
So other day I found this beautiful flowers in Linden Hill Gardens, Ottsville, My friend told me the name of them but I forgot (I guess I am getting old too fast).
Like my Facebook Page :)
A few years ago a friend let me take a little bleeding hearts plant to transplant.
Now I have 3 marvelous plants doing extremely well on the north and east side of the house.
Years of patience paid off. I know have some glorious blooms to enjoy!
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.
Such a favorite of mine in growing up.....
Happy beginning of the week and thanks for stopping in, ~ Pat
Dicentra spectabilis 'Valentine' is a newer variety of this gardenplant of Asian origin. Blooms in the spring and goes dormant afterwards.
. . . Yes, I am aware these are called Bleeding Hearts, but the small, clear, diamond-like drops of rain just seemed so much more appropriate, so I took some Artistic License! Speaking of rain, it looks like we are in for a bunch of it . . .
Have a great week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!
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.
