BleedingHeart



  "Bleeding Hearts" Dicentra spectabilis Scientific Observations Belonging to the Kingdom //Plantae//, //Dicentra spectabilis// commonly known as Bleeding Hearts, are herbaceous perennials. Flowers bloom in April or May and are heart shaped, 3 cm long, and pink and white in coloration. Dicentra spectabilis flowers in clusters arranged on a horizontal stem. //Dicentra spectabilis// is a native flower of Asia, but has been introduced into North America as an ornamental plant in gardens. Flowers have a seed coat in the exotesta, a thin membrane surrounding the seeds. This suggests that //Dicentra spectabilis// retains the primitive seed coat anatomy similar to //Fumarioideae.// The pistil is white in coloration and is located between the anthers hanging downwards from the flower. Insects access the pistil via openings on the sides. Anthers hang downwards from the flower on either side of the pistil. As flowers mature, petals unravel at different times to expose the anther and pistils, again preventing self fertilization. Stems do not have leaves. Seeds are in podlike capsules and secrete oil that attracts ants which spread the seeds.

In Laymen's Terms Bleeding Hearts bloom in April or May in clusters of pink heart shaped flowers. Flowers are around 1 inch long and resemble their namesake, bleeding hearts, for the drop of “blood” that appears to hang down from the heart. Bleeding Hearts do best in shade with plenty of moisture and look wonderful in gardens as ornamental plants. Many folktales and myths have been created around Bleeding Hearts, such as the Japanese myth of a man chasing after love. The flower petals are said to represent the many gifts he gave her: a pair of rabbits, slippers, and earrings, and the bleeding heart represents the end when he stabs himself to death after his heart is broken.

The stamen had some pollen and it found a nice wife. On a date, they pollinate, and then they did create.

Take a look at the flower, oh so fly. In the morning or the night, its there when you die. With the pink beauty, resemblin Phoebe Chen. When you look and see how beast it is you gotta say AMEN.

Today the flowers droop, but it was a nice life. The stamen had some pollen and it found a nice wife. On a date, they pollinate, and then they did create. Many flowers are so fly you cant possibly hate

Could yo ask fo anythin mo? its got a pink glow. From the soil to the sky, and deep down low. But it makes Phoebe itch, and it makes Niess twitch. But at the end of the day its all so cool, itll even make me rich.

Can you all start maginin What would happenig it died? Itd take a stab to my heart and Id lose most of my pride. So lets do what we can, to rejoice its life within. If you dont be nice youll get some lice and itll be a big sin

Today the flowers droop, but it was a nice life.

Today the flowers droop, but it was a nice life. The stamen had some pollen and it found a nice wife. On a date, they pollinate, and then they did create.
