a bleeding heart
As I take this day to recuperate from my hectic schedule of the last six weeks, my heart bleeds with gratitude for all of you who showed up to support me and my work. I cannot thank you all enough. I owe every one of you a debt of gratitude I fear I will never be able to repay. Please know that I appreciate each and every one of you.
bleeding heart (Lamprocapnos spectabilis)
Do you know the bleeding heart’s flower as a lady in her bath? Turn the flower over and gently tease the pink petals somewhat apart. They become the bath, and there will be a lady, with her two arms stretching into the bath.
Or, lengthier folk talk – the story of how the bleeding heart got its name: https://bellewood-gardens.com/2011/Bleeding%20Heart_2011-04.html
Alas, I lack a romantic soul. I see a young woman with a silly hair-do in the 1950’s.
I do love bleeding hearts, though.
