One frame capture, and contending with a slight breeze.Could have stopped down to get a better depth of field, but would not have gotten the soft background as captured.

Thanks so much for your support!!
It’s simply amazing to see a just perfect heart-shaped flower. And it opens up for white petals that grow like water droplets!
Bleeding Hearts, the poetically named perennials, have heart shaped pendant pink or white flowers with spurs at the base and fernlike attractive foliage.
Dicentra spectabilis is the showiest, but its flowers finish in spring and its foliage disappears in midsummer. Other species continue to bloom all summer.

Dicentra spectabilis (Bleeding heart).
Dicentra spectabilis 'Alba' is the white old-fashioned Bleeding Heart. Blooms are exquisitely delicate, and the white gives an entirely different character to the plant. Like so many white varieties, it is slightly less vigorous than its pink cousin, which doesn't diminish its garden value a bit.
About 15 species make up this genus of perennials native to Asia and North America. The common name derives from the unusual heart shape of the flowers and protruding inner petals that suggest a single drop of blood at the base of each bloom.
