Bleeding Heart

Another wonderful day today, and have spent it mostly in the garden and around the neighbourhood. Have blipped this from the garden, which is yielding up so many treasures just now. From Google:

'Lamprocapnos spectabilis also known as old-fashioned bleeding-heart, Venus's car, Lady in a bath, Dutchman's trousers, or Lyre-flower is a rhizomatous perennial plant native to eastern Asia from Siberia south to Japan. It is the sole species in the monotypic genus Lamprocapnos. It is a popular ornamental plant for flower gardens in temperate climates, and is also used in floristry as a cut flower for Valentine's Day. It usually has red heart-shaped flowers with white tips which droop from arching flower stems in late spring and early summer. White-flowered forms are also cultivated. They bloom from late spring to early summer.

They were first into Great Britain in the 1840s from Japan by the Scottish botanist and plant hunter Robert Fortune.'
