Posted for all the bleeding hearts in our world, that needs mending.
Bleeding Hearts. Spotted on my visit at the Kinney Azalea Farm.
Thank you in advance, for any likes or comments. I appreciate your support! Peace and light!
The last two look like the petals are linked.
The Asian bleeding-heart grows to 120 cm (47 in) tall by 45 cm (18 in) wide. It is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial with 3-lobed compound leaves on fleshy green to pink stems. The arching horizontal racemes of up to 20 pendent flowers are borne in spring and early summer. The outer petals are bright fuchsia-pink, while the inner ones are white. The flowers strikingly resemble the conventional heart shape, with a droplet beneath – hence the common name. The plant sometimes behaves as a spring ephemeral, going dormant in summer.[3]
...gotta love spring! for me spring begins when the bleeding hearts blossom...this image was taken hand-held at dusk...i was mesmerized by the colors...even at dusk...
Lamprocapnos spectabilis (Fumariaceae)
Common names: Venus's car, Lady in a bath, Dutchman's trousers, or Lyre-flower, Asian bleeding-heart depending on where you are in the world!
Noms communs: Le Cœur de Marie, Cœur-de-Jeannette, Cœur-Saignant.
Went out to get a yearly shot of my flowering Bleeding Heart plant. Didn't want to change the lens to the macro, so used the long one. I did not see the teeny weeny teardrops on the tips of the leaves until I looked at the image on the computer.
The Bleeding Hearts in Brueckner Gardens are in full bloom. I liked the grouping of these particular flowers, so I thought is was worth a capture.
Although this was taken with a macro lens, it is not a macro shot. I did have to use focus stacking, as I could not get parallel with the branch without disturbing the composition or damaging the surrounding other plants.
John 19:34: "But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out."
1 John 5:6: "This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth."
For you...
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
My dad has such a beautiful garden. This is one of the amazing flowers growing there.

All the hearts are gone now....but, the stems were still green enough to leave in place. By this time in the summer...I've cut them back to near the ground as they are usually yellowed and dried out.
The lovely lemongrass coloured leaves surrounding the hearts is a Spirea.... a variety called Limelight....which I can't find anymore. I would love to get a few more. The leaves are various hues of lime or lemongrass for the full time they are growing. Of course, in winter they look like dead twigs...
If they are in a shaded area...the colours are more lime-y... in sunlight...more sunny green if you know what I mean.
I've begun to cut back some of the bleeding heart plant stems now...it has been hot, hot, hot... after our very rainy early summer season. I am hand watering daily as well as what the underground sprinklers put on the lawns and flower bed....
hot again today but only to about +25C...and, for the foreseeable week.. +28C and +30C again in a day or so... I would prefer something more around the +20C mark.......
