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!

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

Dicentra Alba in my garden

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.

Bleeding Heart; Homalanthus populifolius

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.

I was thinking that the Bleeding Bonnets had a dark stem? This was on the base of a moss ring around a deciduous tree, and the tree was beginning to rot. My camera settings were a little different as I wanted to make sure that I captured the details of the (different to me) Mushroom. This was a 12-image stack since it was at f/8. I did take a stack at f/3.3 with 30 images, but I liked the detail on this run.

فديت وقتن حط في دربي صديق

واحدن يضحك معي واضحك معه

واحدن لاصار وسط القلب ضيق

بالسوالف والمزايح وسعه

وان حكى بأسلوبه العذب الرقيق

يسرق من الجوف قلبن يسمعه

. . . 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!

"..we wear the mask that grins and lies, it hides our cheeks and shades our eyes- this debt we pay to human guile; with torn and bleeding hearts we smile." ~ Paul Laurence Dunbar

Scawfell Street, Haggerston

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.

. . . 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!!
