Bleeding Heart flowers in sunlight

Fortunately for me my wife Liz likes gardening, a pastime that leaves me cold except for admiring and photographing the end results!

So in spring and summer I'm often found wandering around the flowerbeds, camera in hand, seeing what's in bloom today.

This display of Bleeding Heart flowers caught my eye on this occasion, with their unusual shapes and vivid colour, glowing in the diffuse sunlight.
