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.

I saw these little bleeding hearts dangling in the breeze today on my walk...

I think they remind me of little "strawberry shortcake" dolls that I had when I was growing up - showing my age :)

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.

Just thought I'd give this a bit of treatment to see how it looks. Hope you in the macro group don't mind.

Countdown til the end of school: One month.

Yay

they call these flowers 'bleeding hearts', and for good reason. they are quite neat

I'm trying to learn to effectively use gradients. I'm not doing very well.

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)
