I love taking pictures of Bleeding Heart with its dramatic arcs of heart-shaped pink (or white) flowers.

Gorgeous, old fashioned, Bleeding Hearts with afternoon light, in my Mom's garden. Enjoy your day my friends, happy Friday =)

I do not really understand why (I can only imagine that it is because we keep getting rain just as the flowers are about to start blossoming?), but this year we really do not have many flowers blooming around Calgary yet!

There are definitely some, but, as opposed to previous years, no one near as many at this time of year as there normally would be!

Hopefully they will come soon!

Anyways, I discovered these beautiful Bleeding Hearts in a side of the house flower garden on my street, growing in a beautiful mixture of light and shadow!

Bleeding Hearts are such a unique and interesting flower, and these were all in full, glorious bloom!

Hope you are all having an excellent week so far!

The Bleeding Hearts are in bloom.

Bleeding heart (Dicentra spectabilis) Arching sprays of dainty, rose-pink, heart-shaped flowers appear in late spring above fern-like, fresh green leaves. Easy to grow, it looks fabulous planted in groups towards the front of a shady border or as part of a cottage garden scheme.

A bleeding heart “branches out” in my front yard.

I waited to take this after the sun had set as the harsh light would have blown out the delicate flowers. Using my Lensbaby velvet 56 I wanted to give it the dreamy feeling it deserved.

Bleeding heart

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.
