Description
The Bleeding Heart will always have a special place in my heart. When I was a kid our neighbors were just like Grandparents to me and my sister. They had a beautiful backyard garden and my favorite flower that bloomed each year was the Bleeding Heart. I couldn't understand how nature could produce something so beautiful and, well, accurate. Last year in Fairbanks, Alaska I visited a greenhouse and spotted these Bleeding Hearts and just had to break out my macro lens and take some shots. As of right now, this is by far, my favorite photograph. I hope you love it as much as I do.

A wonderful photograph indeed Shannon. I just came across some honeysuckles and they transported me back to my youth the same as this did for you. Thanks for the background story and for entering it into "The Jewel In Your Portfolio" challenge!
