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).

Dicentra spectabilis 'Valentine' is a newer variety of this gardenplant of Asian origin. Blooms in the spring and goes dormant afterwards.
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!
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.

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.
Such a favorite of mine in growing up.....
Happy beginning of the week and thanks for stopping in, ~ Pat
. . . 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!

Clerodendrum, also called Glorybower, Bleeding-heart, Bagflower, has about 150 species,
They are amazingly fragrant like Vanilla, from 3 blooms first year to over 100 this year.
Seed and part of the plant is poisonous if ingested,
Handling plant may cause skin irritation or allergic reaction, it did not effect me at all,
Please see the bloom when it becomes a Jewel on the link bellow,

The common bleeding heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis; formerly Dicentra spectabilis) got its name for its pillow-like, heart-shaped flower that dangles like a single pendulous drop. Bleeding hearts 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. The roots stay alive, and the plant will regrow in fall or or the following spring.
