Lamprocapnos spectabilis (formerly Dicentra spectabilis); also known as old-fashioned bleeding-heart, Venus's car, Lady in a bath, Dutchman's trousers, or Lyre-flower is a rhizomatous perennial plant native to eastern Asia from Siberia south to Japan. It is a popular ornamental plant for flower gardens in temperate climates, and is also used in floristry as a cut flower for Valentine's Day. It usually has red heart-shaped flowers with white tips which droop from arching flower stems in late spring and early summer. White-flowered forms are also cultivated.
Got a mess of good pics of these at Mom and Dads....:)

by Shigemasa Kitao (1739-1820), included in Shashin Kacho Zue (Naturalistic Pictures of Flowers and Birds) – Japanese flower and bird picture book published in 1805 (pictures 1-25) and 1827 (pictures 26-50).
Alright, not knowing the history of Art Alley in Rapid City, SD, I can't say whether this piece featuring a Native American warrior was intended to have blue bleeding eyes. On the one hand, a powerful statement is made by having blue bleeding eyes on any piece of art, it is true. On the other hand, it may be a later addition. Either way, it sure interested the heck out of me.

I've known bleeding hearts as spring flowers, but this one waited until June to even poke above ground. It wasn't until mid-July that it flowered, so I hope it will stay around for a while.
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...
Just thought I'd give this a bit of treatment to see how it looks. Hope you in the macro group don't mind.
