Bleeding Heart/Dicentra spectabilis/Traenendes Herz
a favorite perennial plant in our garden.
There is a Japanese legend about the characteristic flower shape which says that a young man
tried to win a girl’s heart by giving her two rabbits, a pair of shoes and a pair of earrings.
When she refused his gifts and therefore his love, he stabbed himself in the heart with a dagger,
which turned into a bleeding heart in his grief. (Net Find)
