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!
I love taking pictures of Bleeding Heart with its dramatic arcs of heart-shaped pink (or white) flowers.
A bleeding heart dove (Gallicolumba luzonica) in an aviary of the Reid Park Zoo in Tucson, Arizona. This is a species of ground dove that is endemic to the island of Luzon in the Philippines. IUCN conservation staus: Near threatened.
EIRC 7565, an EMD GP10, pulls a loaded grain train south through Oakland to allow the HLCX 3834 and ILSX 180 to tie onto the north end of the train. They will then take the train to Metcalf to be sent via DREI and CSX to its destination.
The common bleeding heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis; formerly Dicentra spectabilis) got its name for its pillow-like, heart-shaped flower that dangles like a single pendulous drop. Bleeding hearts are shade-loving woodland plants that bloom in the cool of spring. Although they stay in bloom for several weeks, the plants often become ephemeral, disappearing for the rest of the summer if exposed to too much sun or heat. The roots stay alive, and the plant will regrow in fall or or the following spring.
Gananoque, ON Canada
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.
Clerodendrum, also called Glorybower, Bleeding-heart, Bagflower, has about 150 species,
They are amazingly fragrant like Vanilla, from 3 blooms first year to over 100 this year.
Seed and part of the plant is poisonous if ingested,
Handling plant may cause skin irritation or allergic reaction, it did not effect me at all,
Please see the bloom when it becomes a Jewel on the link bellow,

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.

I have been away from photography for quite a while...I wish I could be back soon.
Here is another shot at steptoe butte state park taken this May. A single exposure was enough for this scene. Again, this is one of the most amazing sunset I have ever seen.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
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.
