Monomad - Lamprocapnos spectabilis

Hey dear Hive friends, as always I would like to welcome every reader with friendly words to my new post and hope you are well! As an entry for #monomad the challenge, I have taken some pictures and hope you like them.

You can see here the bleeding heart, which is also called Lamprocapnos spectabilis and originally comes from Asia. I find it interesting what abstract manifestations some flowers can assume and this is definitely a prime example of it. The botanical name Lamprocapnos is derived from the Greek from the words lámpro for clear and capnos for smoke. As always I have also attached the pictures in color at the bottom of the post and I always find the transitions between black and white very suitable.

Bleeding heart is generally a very undemanding and easy to care plant, which should not be too much in the sun. Semi-shaded places and soils that are nutrient rich and slightly moist are optimal, but the plant does not tolerate waterlogging and must be watered carefully. It is also very resistant to pests and valuable from an ecological point of view and offers insects such as bees and bumblebees a important source of food.

Symbolically, this plant is often associated with love, passion and warmth and is also seen as a symbol of the beginning of spring. From a spiritual point of view, it can also be associated with a balance of emotions and positive energy. Bleeding heart is not only a very unique looking plant, also a great motif for paintings and is not often chosen by artists for no reason.

Many thanks for stopping by and watching! I used my camera Sony Alpha 6000 and Sony SEL-55210 Telephoto Zoom Lens (55-210mm) to take these pictures.
