It's not a Bleeding heart is it? No, that's Dicentra - the name just poped into my head! But it's similar. Fabulous photo.

It's common name around here is Flowering Maple. I actually overwintered this plant inside last winter. It grew to about 5 feet tall this year.

Nice shot, jams. I had a lot of trouble trying to get a picture of the flower.

It looks like I'm introducing the Thursday edition of WW!

That is a great photo; great flower. The little things (at my age, I'm still saying little things for little things I don't have the vocabulary for) coming down from the flower are so pretty.
