Excellent work! (6)

beautiful bleeding heart...your image really captures this majestic and meaningful flower...regards....David

many thanks for your valuable input David, we both enjoy this type of work, so any comments you give are appreciated.

My sincere thanks for your visit and kid words of critique, always nice to hear from you!

thankyou for your input and words conveyed that tell me you see the 'romance' of this composition. Many thanks Jim.

Wishing you warm days of Spring soon, Gail

what a lovely critique, you share the sentiments of young love, always good to hear. This flower is actually called a 'Bleeding Heart'. Mine is the size of a 'bush' but the leaves are very pliable. The stems are hollow, and each stem of flowers sports usually about 6 or 7 little hearts that grow bigger and bigger as the days go by. It is truly lovely! Many thanks for your visit, I really enjoyed what you had to share.

Sincere regards,Gail

This is not the best example I have of a bleeding heart, but at least it is a stem so you can see how they grow. My Plant (which is a Perienniel{comes up every year} is about 4ft by 3 ft in size, I do have to split it this Spring into about 3 other plants) It is always full of lush large green leaves and many, many stems of HEARTS!!!

Hi Gail,

Thank you very much. I am touched by your response. It's very kind of you to enlighten me on the plant. The flowers are really beautiful. I have always noticed that you put your heart in what you write and this was no exception. Thanks again from my Heart!

Best regards, Ajay.
