Bleeding hearts
Originally uploaded by rfmcdpei

Another Victoria day flower picture taken on Palmerston Avenue, I found this arc of bleeding hearts (Dicentra spectabilis) in someone's front gardens. The flowers' delicate colours attract me, as does their intricate construction--when I was much younger, I used to dissect the flowers, seeing the delicate folds and layers of tissue under the pink shells.
