Bleeding Hearts © 2012 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Bleeding Hearts – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
Bleeding Hearts (Dicentra spectabilis) are one of my favorite spring flowers. I love seeing the heart-shaped splashes of pink and white against the greens of the garden.
The heart shaped varieties seen in gardens originated in Japan. They were introduced in England in the 1840s, and then imported to the United States. There is also a type of bleeding hearts (Dicentra exima) native to the United States. I’ve photographed the wild bleeding hearts in the mountains of Tennessee.
This photograph is available as an 8 X 18″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order Bleeding Hearts from my website.
