This one I think is kinda cool but also kinda weird. This is a good picture. Some bleeding hearts look a little creepy.
I was told that by saying I was going to be teaching everyone about flowers that it meant more then one. I wasn't so sure that anyone really wanted to read a blog about flowers characteristics. So let me know, do I keep them coming?

Keep em coming! I love it!
Yes. I am reading. Keep it up and I'll let you do my yard.
BTW, you don't happen to know my zone do you?
You are a zone 8 some might say 9 but it is usually best to go with the lower number.
I agree! Keep it coming! I am enjoying it! Love and miss you!!
I want to know my zone too :) I hope you are paying special attention to flowers that would be rockstars in my school garden. :D love you!
I have Asiatic Lilies in my yard. Now I know what they are! :) I've always thought bleeding hearts are kind of cool.
