Lamprocapnos spectabilis

This plant has always been know to me as Dicentra spectabilis, but recently the powers that be have renamed it Lamprocapnos spectabilis.  Other common names are Bleeding Hearts, Dutchman's Britches and Lady in a Bath!  

Whatever you call it, it is a lovely delicate plant, and although supposedly not for exposed conditions, it does well here. Just about every garden in the village has it in flower at the moment!
