I've been roaming around my yard on what I call my "Safari" in search of photo opportunities. The top photo is a photo of a bleeding heart. [As a quick side note - I have not planted these and grown them on purpose. I have a black thumb and if I had planted these and wanted them to grow - they would have died.]
My last attemp to grow something was right after we moved into the house. I thought pampus grass was cool so I bought some, planted it and waited. It grew, grew, and grew. Then one day my sister-in-law came over and asked about the patch of weeds in back. It seems the pampus grass had died somewhere along the line and I was culvating some sort of giant weed. I did think it looked funny - but, I just thought it was going to morph into grass...
Does anyone know the name of this flower? (Don't tell me if it's a weed - just make up a name!!)

My wife believes they are a white and pink columbine.
ReplyDeleteI think it is the Honeysuckle plant. If you break off the pink little "bulb" at the top and taste it, it is sweet- like honey.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the second plant is, Robert, so sorry...
ReplyDeleteI love the bleeding heart and tried to find some at Home Depot yesterday but had no luck. Great photograph of a really pretty little flower.
Thanks Mary - Sounds a little like Ule Gibbons (the tasting part) - with my luck moments after I "taste it" there will be a post that says, "...don't taste it - it could be poisonous." I'll wait just a bit before I go tasting...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bleeding heart photo, Robert.
ReplyDeleteI have a purple & white columbine in the backyard and it looks very much like the second photo you posted!
Take care
Love the Bleeding Heart. The second ones looks like a Columbine to me.
ReplyDeletethe bleeding hearts are the favorite plants from my passed away mother! Thanks for sharing this memory!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bleeding hearts and columbines!
