Today’s Flowers: Chives, Columbine and Bleeding Heart

chives
Who would have thought that chives up close can produce such pretty purple flowers? I look forward to my sage plant blooming as well; it also produces lovely purple blooms.

This was what I photographed of my columbine plant one week ago.

Here’s the same plant one week later, with an open white bloom.

bleeding_heart
The bleeding heart plant (dicentra spectabilis) on the side of my house is showing its little pink hearts. After a while, the greenery of this perennial plant dies down, and one has to be careful to leave it alone so it will bloom again next year.
