Mother Nature’s Finest
Our Bleeding Heart flower
The most unbelievable of the spring wonders is the Bleeding Heart perennial. It is the first to come forth and give a show that is amazing. I am still waiting to see if the White Bleeding Heart made it through our ice age.
This morning while Dennis was mowing the yards I did take up some hand quilting to do out in the garage porch, but with one arm in a sling there is a very short duration of manipulating thread, needle and fabric. Needless to say it didn’t take long for me to find my little Canon Power Shot camera to capture these blossoms.
With the high winds we have had, you can’t take Mother Nature for granted. I have had bushes of these in the past that have had the expanse of three feet, but we are grateful for what we have this spring. Hopefully, the root system will feed generously for showings again next year. I have noticed that these little wonders do self-seed. The trick is to watch your garden dirt for the tiny, but familiar, leaf patterns and allow them to take hold. The small plants may be as tiny as a shirt button.
I can’t imagine not being enthralled with gardening. The hard part is watching and waiting to see what will spring forth next.
