Bleeding Heart

Dicentra spectabilis-Latin for "Remarkable"

Dicentra spectabilis-Latin for "Remarkable"

New to my garden, is this delicate and tender plant. It is blooming right now under a sweeping double purple lilac tree in the front yard. Bleeding Heart also goes by the name Lady’s Locket, Lady’s Heart, and Lyre Flower. If you bend back the little lyre-shaped petals it will reveal a tiny, slightly scandelous Lady in the Bath (another common name).

Rhubarb Love

In humble awe of the elegant Rhubarb, who gives me delicious compote to stir into homemade yogurt. Gracias por todos.
