Dicentra "Burning Heart"

Very similar to my 'King of Hearts'....gorgeous!

Ooh yes....gorgeous...:>)

its lovely but very expensive on ebay! :-)

Thanks all!

I think that this was a fiver at a rare plant fair...........

thats great! :-)

love it!!

Thought that you might Sticki!

beautiful leaves [always a prerequisite for me] and then a stunningly photogenic flower ~ magic combination!!

It really is rather special!

would i be right in thinking it stands out better as it is in the photo?? or is it equally bright in the day?

This is a little muted compared to how it is in full sun!

Oh wow! Perhaps I should move house!

It's an option!

i think about it ~ often!!!

Very nice, there are some very pretty ones about now.....

And this is certainly one of them!

I sent for this on-line Meanie, after seeing your pic.....arrived today...a tiny thing...hope it doesnt die on me!!!

Might be best in a pot for this year before planting out next spring if it's small then?

Good thinking Meanie, that is what we do now, lost far too many plants in the past, we live and learn!!

One of the reasons that I'm moving more towards African and South American bulbs DD. However, I have seven Iochroma australis to over-winter as I attempt to produce a hardy tree.

Good heavens, good luck with that one....just visited a fantastic small NGS tropical garden not far from us, stunning, part Australian and part New Zealand planting.

Did you get any photos?

Yes will do a blog soon, had some very exotic plants, beautiful tree ferns......

Look forward to that!
