Signs of hope from my mother's garden

I love Bleeding Hearts, and the day after my divorceabration, I was happy to find them in my mother's garden. They look delicate, but the branches are strong and sturdy. I was tempted to cradle the buds in my palm but they were so lovely there on their own. I left them suspended, lovely and full of their own life, more of a pinky glow than violent red.

These first two seemed to go together, and I liked that, Bleeding Hearts in bloom, side by side.

I have never seen flowers like that. Gorgeous! And I like the symbolism of them.
