I think I could photograph bleeding hearts until the cows come home.
But who knew? (I didn’t!)
Another common name for Lamprocapnos spectabilis (bleeding heart) is the “lady in a bath” flower.
Not this lady in a bath, though:

I never looked at them “upside-down” before. You have introduced me to the lady. Or — given me a peep at her, anyway. 🙂
How is Harriet doing? Please keep us updated………….

Never thought of looking at it upside down, yet, it’s still beautiful either way~

I have bleeding hearts in my front garden and had never looked at them ‘upside down’ or heard the term ‘lady in a bath’. How fascinating!

You are ahead of us for Springtime. Our bleeding hearts are just 5″ of sprouting leaf stalks, still. Love seeing the lady in the bath.
