Green Thumb Sunday - Bleeding Heart

Gardeners, Plant and Nature lovers can join in every Sunday,
visit As the Garden Grows for more information
It is a foggy and wet morning in San Francisco's Golden Gate Heights neighborhood. Mount Sutro and the iconic red and white Sutro Tower which is usually visible from the garden is hidden by the fog. But, I managed to capture a shot of a lovely pink flower on a ground cover plant in the garden planted by the prior homeowner over 8 years ago. I have seen this plant in Bay Area nurseries but do not recall the plant's name. Perhaps someone can tell me? Thanks to a GTS member, I now know that this is Bleeding Heart (Dicentra).

Hi! I got here through PhotoHunt this week. It looks like we participate in two of the same weekly photography memes.

Anyway, this flower looks like a Bleeding Heart, scientific name Dicentra.

Have a great weekend! :-)
