It's time to get out in the garden again, cleaning and tidying and making room for all that burgeoning spring growth. And maybe, even, a bit of weeding already.
These are my bleeding hearts last week; I love this stage, before the leaves turn green.

| Bleeding heart, Lamprocapnos spectabilis |
They look like little clasped hands, dipped in red wine.
This was last week. Now the stems are much paler, and the tips are greenish.

Tiempo de ponerme a trabajar en el jardín, limpiando, rastrillando, tal vez arrancando los primeros brotes de las hierbas malas que siempre aparecen.
Estos son los nuevos brotes de mi Lamprocapnos spectabilis, el llamado "Corazón sangrante" por la forma y color de sus flores. Me encanta esta etapa, antes de que las hojas se pongan verdes.
En esta primera etapa, parecen manos unidas, bañadas con vino tinto. Esto fue la semana pasada. Hoy, los tallos son mucho más pálidos, y las hojas están de un verde rojizo.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
