These pretty bleeding hearts(I think thats what their called) come up every year along the fence line.

(I was first introduced to this flower when I was about 4 years old... I thought it was the neatest, prettiest flower ever. My mom bought one at "Thyme After Thyme" in Winterville for us to plant, and it promptly died. Mah certainly doesn't have a green thumb... but it was probably better that way - they're poisonous to injest, and Chessie was a frequent foliage muncher)
Bleeding hearts, Andersonville neighborhood, May 14, 2013
Spring was rough, but of all the flowers I photographed, the bleeding hearts seemed to weather it best.
Bleeding Heart flowers against a dark background. I liked the nearly perfect little heart on the left end! Taken with - ack! - modern optics, versus my recent attempts with a 30-year-old soft focus Portragon lens! If I decide to pony up the dough for the adaptor to use my Mamiya 145mm Soft Focus lens on my Nikon, I'll REALLY have sumpin'!
Chicago's best bakery, in my humble opinion. Adoreable surroundings, friendly service, small and quaint with wonderful food!
Rather mundane, I know, but I do love bleeding hearts! This plant is just outside the fence of the condo next to us, and favours us with its glorious blooms every spring. I've photographed it many times.... In the lower background, the white is fallen petals of the crabapple tree in out neighbour's yard. It has a huge amount of blossoms this year, so the apple harvest should be incredible.
looks like this sucker is about to pop.. not much to this one.. just a little bored!
View this one on black.. It looks much different IMO
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. Flowers are heart-shaped and 1–2 inches (3–5 cm) long, with pink outer petals and white inner petals, hanging in a horizontal raceme. They bloom from late spring to early summer. First plants specimens were introduced into England in the 1840s from Japan by the Scottish botanist and plant hunter Robert Fortune. (Wikipedia)
