Hey Bill,
I thought you might get a kick out of these....they are rather unique...for sure.
Do you have a hi-res version of this you can send me? Bill's tight. These are the coolest.
Hey Bro, can you answer the question on my blog entry today? Check it out.
Sorry Bro...No High Res stuff here. Yes, I answered your question on your Blog, hope it helps.
Bill -- these are one of my favorite flowers! Surely they're not blooming up there this time of year, though? Now -- off to let Chuck know I've got a hi-resolution pic if he still wants it!
Love your photography!
No Linda, they bloom in the Spring and early Summer. These pictured are common Dicentra spectabilis. I do have Dicentra Exima and Dicentra formosa which bloom later in late Spring and through Summer. These are both much smaller plants and smaller blooms. I posted these pic's becasue I thought Bill might enjoy seeing them, did not mean to mislead anyone as to bloom time being now...sorry
I knew that these particular bleeding hearts only bloom in the spring here. My "wild" bleeding hearts bloom until the very heat of summer, and some even squeak out a late bloom or two when the weather gets cool. But we're in the deep-ish south, and folks up north get a longer and much different blooming season than we do down here, so I had to ask!
And so sorry that I mistakenly called you "Bill" on my earlier comment -- I know better than that! :-)
