Finally a warm Spring day. I puttered and it felt great! Went on a bit of a moving frenzy, but am happy with the results.Â
I’ve decided to enter the garden at work in a garden competition. Now that I have some help with it, I think it will be ready in time.

If you like gaudy, you'll love Dicentra 'Gold Heart'; bright (and I mean bright) greenish yellow foliage and shocking pink flowers... a combination you don't see too often in the garden. I have one of these planted next to a deep purple hellebore, a combination that you certainly can't ignore when walking by... very nice.

The Bleeding heart flowers in their prime on Saturday.They look glowering in their intensity.
I know Pansys can have faces in their glorious coloured petals.Happy ones, sad ones, mysterious ones.
The front cover of the Orchid Thief has the most striking Orchid face.Susan Orleans wrote that she began to see faces amongst the thousands of orchids she looked at.
The garden spirits must live temporarily within flower faces, and make us humanise our flowers.Click on the photo to see the Bleeding heart brothers.Eyes and long nose, very alien looking :)

Growing under a shady grove of tree's next to the long winded named Pachyphragma microphyllum.I often wander what to plant in a shadey area beneath tree's.Someone asked that at the Walton Villagehall plant sale a few weeks ago.

Gardener's Note: This brilliant 'old-fashioned' bleeding heart POPS in a shade garden . Surprisingly hearty with long lasting blooms, its sunny leaves will glow throughout spring and summer.
Iowa Gardening Woman and Nickie were absolutely correct in identifying the mystery flower as bleeding heart. Well done! I can see I am going to have to be much more devious if I want to fool anyone again. You two got it very quickly!
Here are more shots of one of the "pride and joy" plants in my garden. I have also noted that this is one plant I located correctly my very first try. I planted it about 8 yrs ago and have never moved it!

I believe I took this photo in early June last year. My bleeding hearts, Dicentra spectabilis, aren’t even up yet, and they likely won’t come up until the end of April or beginning...

I'm posting these Old-Fashioned Bleeding Hearts in honor of my grandmother, who passed away last night. In our last conversation about plants, she mentioned how much she liked these flowers. She was an inspiration to me as a naturalist and gardener.

Bleeding hearts are traditional favorites for those shaded areas in your landscape design. Their foliage tends to die back after bleeding hearts are done blooming, leaving behind vacant spots in...

I first grew this plant in Garden #1 in the East Village. It was extremely long-blooming, blooming for months in the partial shade of the widlflower garden there. It forms a large clump over time. The ferny foliage is very effective and interesting when the plant is not in bloom. . .

Dicentra spectabillis Bleeding Heart in the early morning light
By early evening Tuesday night, the rain decided to stop and we actually had a mini sunset. I strolled the gardens with my little camera in hand and took enough pictures that when I downloaded them, my computer had severe indigestion. . . .
Bleeding hearts are one of my favorite flowers but I can't seem to get them to reseed anywhere. -OR

If you have any area of your property that is anywhere from lightly to mostly shaded, and you are dying to plant something other than hostas there, consider bleeding hearts. Bleeding hearts bloom in white, pink, or red, and their blooms look like heart-shaped lockets strung along its graceful, arching branches. Even the foliage is pretty, being dark green and deeply lobed.

One of the things that I have learned over the years is to record my plantings. Another thing that I have learned is that somethings planted in one year may appear to die away and re-appear the next year. This is one example of how I learned these lessons. I know that I planted a heuchera on this spot. However, I may have also planted a bleeding heart also in the same place -- assuming that there are yellow flowering bleeding hearts. A little research needs to be done.
Can anyone help out here? -OR

Dicentra Gold Heart, with gold green foliage and bright pink flowers is not the most subtle of plants; this picture looks like I altered the colors or sharpness, but I didn't... it may be the only plant that the big nursery catalogues don't have to goose to make its picture stand out.
