Bleeding Hearts

Bleeding hearts are among the most beautiful and delicate flowers.  I plant two types in my garden, the Fern Leaf Bleeding Heart and the Traditional Bleeding Heart.

Dogs in the garden

Fern Leaf Bleeding Hearts are strong and resilient.  They bloom early and last throughout the entire growing season.

Traditional Bleeding Hearts are fragile.  They bloom early but their beauty is fleeting, only lasting a few short weeks.

My Bleeding Hearts are dedicated to my friend Susan who is going through a terrible and painful time in her life right now.  She is like the Fern Leaf Bleeding Heart, strong and resilient.  Like so many others, my thoughts and prayers are with her today.  Stay strong, friend.

I wish your friend all the best in her difficult time. I have bleeding hearts in my garden as well but they have not bloomed here yet.

What a special sentiment to your friend Susan! Love the pictures. Bleeding hearts were always my mom's favorite too. She always has some growing in her gardens.

I know this, I had white ones. I think the name was Dicentra Spectabilis Alba - I have no idea why or how I remember this! This is a gorgeous plant and gives such pleasure when it is in flower.

What a trea to see it. :-)

I feel so sorry for Susan. She will survive this with the love of her friends. ♥ Your flowers are beautiful. I'll have to plant some too.

I hope Susan is doing better. These are lovely flowers. I'm not sure they are for me since they are so dainty. I'd probably squash them. I'm not very graceful.

Bleeding hearts. I learned something new today. They are pretty but look fragile. I pray for your friend that she has strength and wisdom to help her in whatever her situation to carry her through the storm.

I love Bleeding Heart Flowers, too. Though I admit I was only familiar with the fragile ones. Happy to learn of the stronger fern leaf variety. Sending much strength and support to your friend Susan!

I never knew what those flowers were called, they're very beautiful. Just like the tribute to your friend Susan. I know a Susan too that's going through a difficult time, she'll love this.
