Bleeding Hearts
These are one of my favourite flowers. I’d seen them in recent years when visiting some gardens. I was then inspired to paint them
These beautiful heart-shaped flowers hang in their quantities. They bring a feeling of happiness to those that see them
Bleeding heart flowers are native to Northern China, Japan, Korea, North America, and Siberia. In 1846, Robert Fortune, a Scottish botanist with the Royal Horticulture Society returned from Asia with bleeding heart plants. The plant was spread around the UK and became one of our most popular garden plants
Pollinators of the bleeding heart plant include hummingbirds, butterflies, and ants. The seeds of the plant have a small tubular sac filled with fatty lipids. Ants eat the fatty centres from the seeds, and take them back to their anthills. The seeds then germinate and spread
In the language of flowers, bleeding heart flowers symbolize passionate love and romance. On special occasions, such as weddings and Valentine’s Day, bleeding heart flowers are perfect to use in bouquets and in table decorations
