It's a sweet day, Valentine's Day. There's the sentiment of love between two people. Sometimes there's chocolate involved, there is the possibility of roses or even diamonds. I offer you 'Bleeding Hearts'. A beautiful tiny 'flower' which grows oh so delicately on a vine. I have cards, framed 5x7's or 5x7's which you can frame with your personal choice. Check them out in my Etsy shop. Oh, the endless romantic....click on the photos for more info!

Triz, I had not seen them before this past summer...they are tiny, tiny and grow on a vine...they grow in white as well...like beautiful lanterns...yes?
KIM!!! You're back...I've been thinking of you all afternoon today...wow, moving always presents unexpected events, like computers blowing up...hope you are all settling in and back w/ us on-line...Mom loved, loved, loved the collages...she can't see very well, but she has a great 'gadget', not unlike a computer screen which magnifies everything greatly, so we poured over both boards so she could really see...she was very appreciative of the work that went into them...got to love her for that...I'll pass along your good wishes to her...big hugs...you've been missed...:)))))
Wow, this are truly beautiful! They do look like heart; definitely a great gift to give to someone special. :)
thanks so much Amy..
it's really good to be back online :)
I've missed you and your wonderful posts too :))
ps I think I need a magnifier for my screen too or a new pair of glasses ;)
What beautiful flowers, the colors in the photos are so vibrant, perfect for Valentines Day...but I also think these would make lovely Easter cards...
Cheers
These are so beautiful!! :)
Thank you BK...I have given them as gifts for many occasions!!!
Kim...hugs...:)))))
Heather, my friend Sue, is a heart girl all the way, and I sent her a one of the cards for Christmas...she was thrilled....yes, it's a multi-holiday gift for sure!!!
Thank you Dori!!
Oooh, bleeding hearts. I've had them in my gardens for a long time. They are just gorgeous.
Oh! I love bleeding hearts! It's too dang hot in TX to grow them.
Deronda...I must try growing them this Spring...the climate is good for them in RI...these were from the garden of a friend!!!...maybe white as well!
Lynn, you're so right...they would just wilt in Texas...way too delicate for that kind of heat!!!
Oh these are beautiful Amy. I fell in love with them when we lived in Maine.
They are natural to that state and grow wild everywhere.
I am back blogging. I just missed everyone way too too much.
I have added you back to my favorites so I can visit and not miss any goodies!!
Hugs,
jackie

Hi Mize...I had never sen them before last Spring...I still have alot to learn about gardening and flowers...it seemed like everyone I spoke to knew that there are 'Bleeding Hearts'...now we know too!!!
Ahh...l'amore.
Bloody beautiful hearts you have there Amy :-)
THanks for all the drops - you never give up on me do you? I appreciate it even when I seem to be elsewhere for long long loooonnng periods of time.
I love their fragile beauty - and you captured them perfectly!
I LOVE THESE PICTURES!!! My dad used to grow these in the front yard for my mom. I miss seeing them. They seemed to bloom all year, (well except Winter, of course!)
Thanks for sharing!
Hey Chrsity Gal..au francais...perfect for these gorgeous little flowers...I will always visit your blog, always drop on your blog until the day one of us decides to stop blogging...you are, in my humble opinion, one of the most gifted gals, and I dear friend, am very loyal...:)))))
Thank you Kathy...knowing just how tiny they really are,and w/ YOUR eye, I so appreciate your feedback!
Thank you Michelle...your Dad must have been quite the romantic to grow them for your Mom...that is really sweet...I can't WAIT for Spring to roll in so I can plant my own...these photos were from another garden!!!
These are PERFECT for Valentine's Day! So pretty.
Cheers.
Hi Amy. You´re right, living and learning.
I never saw any bleeding hearts here and I´m not sure if we have them in Portugal.
I´m a gardening fan but I also have a lot to learn.
Good Wednesday!
Hiya Miss Deb...I think so too...but, no bites so far...boo hoo...LOST TONIGHT...we'll talk!!!
Mize, I would wonder if they grow in Portugal...you will have to let me know if you find any!!!
This is gorgeous! Great work!
Thank you Lady Lynn...so glad you like!!!
I am back again! I loved the flowers so much that I featured them on my blog. Check it out: http://theworldiscolorful.blogspot.com/2009/02/heart-flowers.html
really beautiful - the colors are amazing - great eye!
THANK YOU Sweepstakes Girl...thank you very much!!!
Thank you Meg...they grow in white as well...I'll be looking for them come spring...glad that you like!!
Beautiful flowers, love the picture!
I had some of those growing in my front yard, until my fiance and my silly cousin chopped them down by accident (with a machete.) I ask him to go get a weed whacker and he comes home with a freaking machete and goes all Madagascar on the yard.
Thank you jinx!!!
Z, this is by far the funniest comment I have ever read...I have to put it someplace where I can refer to it when I need a good laugh...and, um, sorry about your Bleeding Hearts..:(((
