Dobies have a Dicentra (Bleeding hart plant) seed for sale. And i am so very tempted to get it. It has a yellow flower quite differant to the three red Dicentra,s i have grown from root sectioning. I got all my catalogue,s yesterday and once again became totaley confused at the beautyful plants on show. Restraint has to be my aim at this time as its so easy to over stock but i am very tempted. My greenhouse is ready for all my Seeds(some from last year) and i have my cuttings all so far ok. Think i need a larger GH. Palace (Shed) is full of New timber also, which means i cannot put many plants in it. Suppose i could give Tiny(The Budgie ) a compulsary purchase order to utilize his space, but then my good lady would give me simular and cut the outside power off to my Palace. The weight of such a decission is so very heavy but i have now made my decission . Blow it Tiny can stay and i am getting the Dicentra seed(LoL). Take care all enjoy Tony

If this is the very yellow flowered plant, I think it has been reclassified and is not a Dicentra at all. It is placed in the Dactylicapnos Genus. Most likely to be Dactylicapnos scandens but could be one of a few. The flower does look more or less the same as Dicentra.

Enjoy your new plant - whatever it's called! Glad to hear that Tiny will be keeping his space.

bleeding heart is definately red flowered and the climbing D scandens is pale yellow. either way they are smashing plants.

Looks like we've got some new crew Tony and I must say you learn something new everyday! Our No.1 is a busy lady at the moment so we will have to try and manage without her.I'm sure she'll be back soon!
So who's the boss in your house then!

Hi Rose I dare not venture down that road Rose as Elizabeth knows the location of my tin. But on the other hand i support your jesture in the nicest way. My closing comment is "ELIZABETH GIVE IT BACK PLEASE" . Take care Rose your in the pipeline for promotion. Tony

18 Jan, 2012

 

Nooo , i can't take our Elizabeths place. She'll be back, biccies too.

Hi Rose Good heavens Rose i meant a promotion to one and a half. Elizabeth will return at a future date to resume full number one status . At present its like being in the boat without a paddle(LoL). Elizabeth has eaten all the choc one,s and has promised to leave me the rich tea. She has a sweet tooth and my blooming Tin. Take care Rose Tony

There you two go again! I don't eat chocolate!! It's not me who licks the chocolate off the Digestives...I think it might be Rose! The secret chocoholic! There were only Fig bars, Rich Tea and wet Digestives (eww! Rose!) in the biccy tin when I found it, but the edge of the box was looking a little gnawed...do you think that perhaps Turbo the tortoise has had an attack of the midnight munchies? It is a few months until he comes out of hibernation, maybe he was peckish!! And could somebody tell me what happened in the shed? One minute I'm creeping stealthily up through the floorboards, as you do, minding my own business, and next minute... I wake up, flat out on said floor, with a huge square lump on my head, and a dozen budgies flying around my head like in the cartoons! Have you booby-trapped the shed again, Tony? And there's me just bringing back the biccy tin... sniff...and a paddle...where's me hanky?...sniff...

You sound like Alice in Wonderland Elizabeth when she went flying and landed with a crash! I told you she'd be back Tony , didn't I. Just because we can't see her , she's always there watching ,just like Tinkerbell! And another thing, it wasn't me who ate the choccy ones!

20 Jan, 2012

 

Hi Elizabeth Thankyou for finding my Mallet. Somthing must have gone wrong as the lump on your cranium was supposed to stop you getting back through the boards. I noticed you didnt return my sock or the crunchy nut bar that i hid in it. What an absolute rotter me thinks. Over to you Rose (LoL). Take care number one Tony

20 Jan, 2012

 

Hi Rose Its ok Rose i don,t for a moment beleive you scoffed my choc biccys or that the tin had your Moler marks on it. Elizabeth is fibbing Begorra. But it doesent excuse why you drained my choc fingers of the cream(LoL). I be whatching me crew after that. Rose , Elizabeth has been let out. Take care Tony

20 Jan, 2012

 

Please Stop...I never responded to cream teas and choccy biscuits.

20 Jan, 2012

 

I know Tony,I told her she was needed to sort this out over the biccy tin! Ooh , I wishI'd known they were choc. fingers, my favourite.You'll have to find another hiding place now!

21 Jan, 2012

 

hi pimpernel I used to have a weakness for both but two of my favorite GOY members found my stock. Tin now empty (LoL. Take care enjoy Tony

21 Jan, 2012

 

Hi Rose Found a new hiding place now Rose. Thank You for the suggestion. Elizabeth will never think of looking behind my gardening books(LoL). Ho blinking heck ive done it again. Take care Rose . Tony

21 Jan, 2012

 

I won't tell if you don't!

22 Jan, 2012

 

hi Rose Thankyou for keeping my secret Rose but its a bit late as Elizabeth has been and eaten the blooming lot. Where,s that pesky plank me number one,s scoffed the lot. Take care Rose Tony

23 Jan, 2012

 

Tony did your seed germinate?, I just searched to see if anyone else was growing Dactylicapnos 'Scandens' on here and was brought to you :-), I have my first seedlings from seed sown last autumn, yaaaay :-)

Hi Simbad Sorry had to rethink on advice I was given. Decided to continue to increase Dicentra by root section. Hope you have success with your venture. Take care Tony

11 May, 2013

 

Thanks Tony, I'll post pictures when mine eventually flowers :-)

12 May, 2013
