Spring Returns!





Hope you've enjoyed this trip around my yard. I thought about commenting on the photos, but how can one put words to nature's magnificence?

Magnificent, thanks for sharing.
can you tell me what kind of flower(1st photo) is it?

Donna Griffin said...

Thank you Susana!
The plant's popular name is Bleeding Heart and is also known as Dicentra. It grows to be 3 to 3.5 feet in zones 3-9 in the US. It can be grown in full sun to partial shade, but prefers shade in the warmer areas.
I was amazed to see the bloom so early as it usually blooms in late Spring - but there is was on the very first day!
Thanks so much for writing!

It's a beautiful plant no matter what the name! It's certainly cheerful to see in the Spring after a cold cold winter!
