Bleeding Hearts – New Photo

by hankinslawrenceimages | Jun 15, 2020 | New Photos, Papaveraceae Family

I’ve recently added a new photograph – Bleeding Hearts – to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/bleedinghearts2020/

One of my favorite spring flowers are bleeding hearts. I just love seeing the wonderful pink hearts set against the soft greens of spring in a garden.

Spring Wildflowers – Dutchman’s Breeches, Squirrel Corn, and Bleeding Hearts

by hankinslawrenceimages | Aug 26, 2019 | Papaveraceae Family, Wildflowers

Dutchman’s Breeches (Dicentra cucullaria), Squirrel Corn (Dicentra canadensis) and Bleeding Hearts (Dicentra eximia) are three spring wildflowers I always look for in the woods. They are very delicate wildflowers – I’ve learned what their leaves look like – so I can spot them before the flowers bloom – and then come back when they are likely to be blooming.

A couple weeks ago, I spotted the largest patch of Bleeding Hearts leaves I’ve ever seen – there were still a few lingering blossoms so I’m sure that’s what they were. I’m already planning a trip for next spring in hopes of seeming them in bloom

Bleeding Hearts (Lamprocapnos spectabilis formerly classified as Dicentra spectabilis) are one of the flowers that just make me smile every time I see them at the local gardens. Native to Asia, these delicate heart-shaped flowers are some of the first perennials to bloom in the spring. In the DC area, the bleeding hearts bloom just as the tulips are finishing up their bloom. These are a few bleeding heart photos I took earlier this spring.

Bleeding Hearts – New Photo

I’ve recently added a new photo Bleeding Hearts to my website at https://beautifulflowerpictures.com/store/bleedingheartspan/

Bleeding Hearts are one of my favorite flowers to see at local gardens in the spring. The bright pink flowers complement the wonderful light green leaves when the sun hits them just right. I spotted this single branch of flowers apart from all the others against the soft greens and I just had to photograph it.

Spring at Longwood Gardens

I spent a wonderful day photographing at Longwood Gardens earlier this month. I’d gone up to Kennett Square in search of tulips. I was a little late for peak tulip bloom but I did find lots of flowers to photograph – including a few tulips. I thought I’d share some of the photos with you today – and the rest later in the week
