bleeding-heartWell I am not sure if you were thinking politics or backyard gardens but I think the Bleeding Heart is such a cool looking plant.

We decided that we would like to have a couple of bleeding hearts, one on either side of our front porch, so we added it to the list of plants to buy this year.

My wife and I were cutting out some thorny bushes on the south side of the garage as they were growing over the satelite dish.

About a week later I noticed what at first I thought was a weed growing but something looked familiar about it so I didn’t yank it, yet. I left it for another week and that weed turned right into a bleed heart.

There was one bleeding heart we didn’t need to buy. I just dug that one up, giving it lots of dirt around it so I would disturb it too much and put it on one side of our front porch.

A few days later I was walking down the side of the garage trying to decide what to put there now that the thorny bush was gone and there was another bleed heart. Guess where it’s going?

Now these bleed hearts are only two inches high so I just had to take a picture today on my walk when I saw the bleeding hearth in the image above.

I don’t know if our two bleeding hearts will get like that this year but I am sure they will be just as beautiful.
