Bleeding Heart


Yes, I am a bleeding heart liberal. But this is the dicentra spectabilis in my backyard.

  3. I have one out front that I got as a division from my then-girlfriend when I moved in 9 years ago. It's so flashy and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger--I used to find it a little embarrassing to have such a plant so prominently placed in the most prominent part of my garden.

    But this year I'm finally getting into it.

  14. I love bleeding hearts, but I have to say, whenever I see them, I always think they look like upside-down chickens. (A little bit, no?)

  15. ha ha. i outed myself as an obama supporter the other day at my bible study, full of conservative republicans. fortunately no one went screaming from the room or declared I was going to hell. Maybe I'll even be able to convince a few of them to vote for him. ;)

    I love the "old fashioned" bleeding heart. I had a huge one of these at the house we moved from, and I was sure I saw one coming up here, but there are NO perennials AT ALL. Perhaps tomorrow, when I am all on my own, I'll go buy one.
