My Heart Bleeds for You – no wait, that’s a flower, not my heart.

Location Taken: Savage, Maryland
Time Taken: May 2010

I’m quite fond of Bleeding Hearts. The reason for their name should be obvious. Their flowers aren’t the standard design, but look like a heart that opens up at the bottom (hence the bleeding).

I really like flowers with non-standard designs. Bleeding Hearts, Pitcher Plants, even some of the odder ones like Rafflesia are just more appealing than the standard daisies and roses.

Maybe it’s just another manifestation of how peculiar my tastes are, and the way I don’t conform to standard opinion in most cases. Maybe it’s just that I’ve seen the standard designs too often in media and got bored with them long ago. And maybe it’s just that these are pretty and interesting and worth checking out.
