Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Yet another plant I don't know the name of . Can you tell I'm a beginner ? I have 2 clumps of this which I'm sure I didn't plant . I'm quite happy to keep them but would like to know its name . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Could it be Dicentra/bleeding heart, though I don't think I've seen it in that colour before, it's usually a more vivid pink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hurray, that's exactly it, thank you . There's a Google image which matches mine perfectly (even the paler pink) . This forum is just wonderful . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 ANH, is that flowering now? It normally flowers in late spring down here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Oh yes, dicentra. It is normally deep pink. You have a rare white variety, how lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 It's been flowering all summer but the flowers are starting to drop off now. How nice to have a rare variety . I wish I knew where it came from - I certainly never planted it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Oh gosh I am so jealous, I love mine to bits but it'd died back and disappeared for this year now, it flowered months ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I think that you do get smaller later vieties as well as the larger darker pink spring variety which i have and have divided into a couple of clumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I had a clump each of white and the brighter pink, both have disappeared over the years.. I suspect that the chickens find it tasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
