Bleeding Heart


This is a creeper flower plant commonly known as Bleeding Heart, the botanical name is "dicentra spectabilis". There are many varieties of this creeper but Sanjoy has only two varieties in his garden. A perineal flowering plant it is known for it's heart shaped flowers with blood like petals in the middle giving the look of a bleeding heart, hence the name. Every part of this plant is poisonous like datura and oleander, so be carefull if you have this in your garden.
