A Fan of…{Bleeding Hearts}

I am joining with Jez for A Fan of…

In this instance, I’m not talking about those people who wear their hearts on their sleeves…I’m referring to floral Bleeding Hearts. Those beautiful plants that pop up every Spring and produce the loveliest little heart shaped flowers.

I didn’t know you could grow these anywhere in Australia until I moved to Tassie. The first year I was so upset when my healthy plant suddenly started to die and wither into the ground. Having not grown one before, I had to ask a friend what she thought the matter was. She showed me hers which was going dormant for the winter months.
