Eliza Waters 
Lovely! ❤️
Thank you, John! Stay cool out there in LV. 🙂
You are wlcome, Eliza! Our daytime temps will stay above 100 all next week, very normal for summer down here.
Better you than me, hehe. The high today was 73 and breezy – my kind of weather. 🙂
When I see these I think of how garden writer Henry Mitchell described them in his book The Essential Earthman: “… little rosy hearts, like valentines hung up to dry.”
Oh, that is lovely, Audrey. Thanks for sharing that quote! ❤
You’re welcome. Henry Mitchell’s books are among my favourites.
Love so beautifully presented!
Indeed, it’s such a charming garden plant. 🙂
Heart petals 💕💕💕💕
🙂 A garden favorite!
Perfect title
Thank you!
Hi Eliza. Good photo. In my days as a garden designer long ago this was one of my favourites. Also I have just been watching the jubilee celebrations back in the UK, specifically a clip of the concert last night, and what comes over is so much love and happiness. Quite intoxicating even from a distance in a different country – I’m not particularly a royalist but I have great admiration for the queen – and after the last two difficult years it is truly wonderful to see such a gathering. So, feeling the love – how very apt. MJ
Thank you, MJ. It is an exciting time even over here. She is highly respected for her poise and having weathered many a crisis with aplomb. 70 years is remarkable!
Reblogged this on Words on Paper.
I sometimes wish these lovely little flowers had a better name. I love Audrey’s description…
Thank you, I know what you mean. ‘Happy Hearts’ would be better. 😉 They certainly have that effect on me. 🙂
Thanks for reblogging!
I will always think of them as happy hearts now, Eliza…
🙂
Very beautiful Eliza, enjoy a lovely day.
Thank you kindly, Agnes. Same to you!
Beautiful! I bet your garden is starting to be amazing now.
Thank you, Maria. June is a riot of blooms with many plants and shrubs in bloom. Peonies, spirea, mountain laurel, rhododendrons and viburnum are all putting on a great show. And the meadow is full of bees and butterflies. 🙂
Awww! Very cute.
Thanks, Allison. 🙂
Beautiful, Eliza. One of my favorites from long ago.
Thank you, Carrie. Such a charming flower!
So pretty! I never had luck growing these, although I badly wanted to. 💕
That is surprising… mine self-sow all over. Perhaps your soil is too acidic? (a bit of lime fixes that) They also prefer moist shade, but will tolerant full sun if they have enough moisture. Maybe try again? 🙂
I was trying to grow them in pots on my balcony. (Morning sun.) Perhaps they just don’t do well in pots but they were being sold in lovely hanging baskets in the nurseries. I watered every day.

One of my very favorite plants in my garden. Mine are starting to fad, but I know they will be back next year to visit just like a good friend.
I have white and pink, and there is a new coral one called ‘Cupid’ that my sister has… we’re hoping it comes true from seed. Time will tell!
I love Bleeding Hearts flowers….so pretty.
Thanks, Debra… definitely a favorite of mine as well.
Sweet picture! Would make a lovely card for someone special.
Great thought– thanks, Laurie!
Perfect shot of Bleeding Hearts!
Thank you, Hien!
I was introduced to these as a very little child by Grandma P. I think it started my long life of watching the garden miracles. I thought fairies must live there!
Great memory… it’s those small events in early childhood that profoundly shape us. ❤
❤️❤️ beautiful string of hearts! ❤️❤️
Thank you, Donna!
Pretty in pink. Nice capture of a perfectly unique flower.
Thank you, Alice!
I loved the zen of these words and this photo, Eliza…truly a blessing for me.
Thank you, Jet. Glad you found it so. ❤
💕perfect beauties 💖
Thank you, Susan!
Bleeding heart is so delicate and pretty!
It is that, thanks, Sandy!
Who can resist bleeding hearts? None, I say 🙂
IKR? Most charming!
Yes!
So beautiful, Eliza — thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Debbie, my pleasure!
Beautiful companions!
Thank you, Kris!
Beautiful flowers Eliza! 💗xxx
Thank you very much, Xenia! ❤
Sweet!
Thanks, Susan!
Lovely. I have the white flowers
Thank you, Diana. Yes, I have white ones, too. Both are lovely!
Lovely and another favorite flower!🙂
Thank you! There’s still a few left flowering… I love how long their season is.
They look great with those hosta leaves, Eliza.
Thank you, Steve. They framed the flower perfectly.

Ah, a garden filled with love and beauty. 😊
Thank you, Pepper!
They have a lovely old-fashioned charm. They would not look out of place on a Victorian greeting card.
Thank you, Carol. They definitely exude romance!
So pretty, nice composition too!
Thank you, Belinda!
The elongated segment at the bottom of each flower looks white or white with pink. I take it the pink is the “bleeding.”
Yes, like a drop of blood, I guess.
Beautiful Image Eliza! Enjoyed seeing it!
Thank you, Reed!
These flowers are so pretty. Not sure why, but besides hearts, they also remind me of upside down Dutch girls’ hats.
Yes, I can see that, too. For children: When you take a single flower, turn it upside down and pull down the ‘wings,’ it looks like a lady in a bathtub. Kids love that. Thanks, Tanja. 🙂
A fitting title for these Bleeding Hearts!
Thanks, Denise!
Beautiful ~ and you are taking me back down memory lane again Eliza 🙂 First time I ran into these flowers (or at least first time I heard their names), was at the Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden in HK and was mesmerized by this flower… Great shot and memories to have on this Saturday morning.
Thank you, Randall. It is a very special flower, glad it sparked some fond memories.
So sweet. Love the simplicity and message, Eliza. 💕
Thank you, Jane! 🙂
