You say Lamprocapnos, I say Dicentra….

I’ve posted about this elegant, arching Spring flowering perennial, recently changing its name from Dicentra to Lamprocapnos (trills off the tongue doesn’t it?). Let’s settle on Bleeding Heart.

An unusual photograph for the concentration of flower, usually seen in, well, single, elegant arches. A bit of a cheat since there were about a dozen plants, sardine-like, on a trolley at Syon this afternoon. A sharp crack of rain, sunshine and snap!
