Bleeding Heart


Title sounds like a soap opera TV show. Where the Bleeding Heart flowers came from in my garden I don't know, because I did not plant it. In fact, I never heard of it before my wife saw it after I asked her about the strange shaped flowers popping up. Those unique shaped flowers I'd never seen before caused me to get my camera up close to capture a scene or two. I learned the plant comes from Japan. Maybe long range birds flew to my yard from there and dropped seeds. Whatever, it makes for a nice picture. By the way, the blooms did not last long. And, I suspect the hot summer will cause the plant to go dormant until next spring. I look forward to more photos.
