Bleeding Hearts

Bleeding Heart, originally uploaded by annkelliott.

This flower looks very delicate to me and there is something intriguing about their shape. I, of course, decided to give some of the educational information here. Makes me wonder what planting zone Great Falls, MT is in? I so want to get back into a yard that I can call my own. We have started taking walks around the blocks -- so far Avenues A, B, C, and D. It is interesting to see different styles of landscaping and yard decor people have. My opinion is changing as far as there not being much to see. I guess with the seasons being so marked and long in changing here, this was a basis for my original thinking of the lack of greenery here. Still, there are not as many a variety of trees here as in the South and scrubbery does not appear plentiful as there as well.

Bleeding hearts usually reach 2'-3' in height with a similar spread. The plants' flowers are either pink or white, and they appear in April or May. Bleeding hearts are growable in planting zones 3-9.

I thought I would include these lyrics with the same name as the flowers in my blog today -- Bleeding Heart. Two very different uses for the words.

Lyrics to Bleeding Heart :

We meet for a moment and then it's goodbye
but I just lived a lifetime with you in my mind

what would it be to live in your world
if you were my boy and I was your girl

it's crazy this spell you have me under
I know it can't be but I'll always wonder

what would my life be living in your arms
I feel I'll never know
and what would you say
if I were to stay and just go your way

this is where you lose your mind
and just let your heart unwind
you're blind don't lose control
you're mine don't lose it all

we meet for a moment and then it's goodbye
but I just lived a lifetime with you in my mind

what would it be to live in your world
if you were my boy and i was your girl

it's crazy this spell you have me under
I know it can't be but I'll always wonder

what would my life be living in your arms
I feel I'll never know
and what would you say
if I were to stay and just go your way

Could you fill in the blanks in my story
tell me what I'm missing what you could be for me
what would I find if I followed your path
all the things I long for that ive never had

it's crazy this spell you have me under
I know it can't be but I'll always wonder

what would my life be living in your arms
I feel I'll never know
and what would you say
if I were to stay and just go your way
