They spread love and colour in spring
And most people know them as bleeding hearts.
They are also known as Lady in the Bath.
Here you can see the pale ladies in various stages of undress.
(Just in case you’re wondering how the flowers could deny gravity,
I need to confess to posting the picture upside down!)
However, every time I pass these flowers
I can’t help but see delicate fairies wearing bright pink wigs.
No matter what you call them —
I think you’ll agree that they are wonderful, luminous beauties.

You KNOW how I love Bleeding Hearts, and your photos of these are perfection!! The first and third ones are my favorites, though the upside-down one showing them “defying gravity” made me chuckle – the two in the middle look like they’re ready to flap their little wings and fly off on an adventure! And in the right-side up version, those same two look like they’re sporting those flip hairdos popular in the ’60’s. 🙂
I never knew them by any other name, so thanks for enlightening me about the “Lady in the Bath” moniker!

Beautiful… I love Bleeding Hearts. A friend gave me a cutting last year —and even though it’s only been less than a year, I had two little hearts in bloom this year… I was so excited… Can’t wait til it grows some more –and I get lots of little hearts too.
