Bleeding Heart

This has been such a beautiful spring.  Our flowering trees, shrubs and plants have never been so pretty.  At least not that I recall.  One of my favorite spring flowers is bleeding heart (Dicentra spectabilis).  The pretty pink hearts hang daintily from the arching stem, and the blooms last a long time.bleeding heart
Here’s a shot of what the plant looks like:

I love these flowers! The only time I've ever seen them in person was in South Hampton, NY but I've always remembered them vividly. They're beautiful--and you photographed them well!

I can't say I'm particularly fond of this plant, but looking at it up close is another matter...

This is my favorite flower as well!! I LOVE them! My plant is very small right now. Hopefully, it will turn out to look like yours.
