Bleeding Heart 1

Gallery: FloraPosted April 11, 2010170 views15 comments

Bleeding hearts and hardy fuschia are among my fav flowers. Each year I try to capture a slice of their beauty. This attempt highlighted the foliage as much as the dangling blossoms. Cool weather has our plants growing slow after early showing. Prolongs the blooms ...tulips especially...makes a gardener glad.

Great comp and nice saturated colors. I also like the different stages of growth of the blossoms on the stem.

Killer comp! I love the arched stem with the progressing stages of growth and size. The foliage is a rich backdrop and sets off the blossoms nicely.
