Bleeding heart flowers
In keeping with my six-month opposite date for blog posts when it’s gray outside (see post below), here is some bleeding heart (dicentra) from my next door neighbor’s garden, taken in May. Ah, the sunshine! Since Seattle is quite north, these lovelies can do all right even with some sun, but when I gardened in Northern California, they needed to be in shade only.
Visit Ruby Tuesday, SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera), Outdoor Wednesday, Pink Saturday, Shadow Shot Sunday, Today’s Flowers, Weekend Flowers, Macro Friday, Macro Monday, and Macro Flowers Saturday for tons of fun in photo blogs around the world. But first, see the complete and up-to-date blog here by clicking on Sara’s Fave Photos, here or on the banner above. Thanks for visiting, and I’d love to read what you think about this photo.

Once upon a time, I grew bleeding heart. I think it’s a lovely flower.
CLAD IN RED
Whenas in red my Julia’s clad,
Then, then (methinks) she’s wicked bad—
Like Hester Prynne, but not so sad.
Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
Those crimson skirts flow full and free,
Her sweet seductions taketh me!

Love bleeding hearts, but don’t have any plants right now because of apartment living! Enjoying yours!

An unusual flower and worthy of its name. The color is lucious!

The bleeding hearts have lovely little shadows on them!
SHADOWY DELIGHT
Shadows above me, shadows below,
Shadows beside me, wherever I go;
Shadows each morning, shadows at night—
Shadows, O shadows, you’re my delight!

Oh beautiful! I adore bleeding hearts. I love the idea of your six-month opposite, a definite way to cheer the gray winter days. 🙂
