Yes, Bleed...Hi everyone - thanks for your comments. Yes, Bleeding Heart is probably the best known common name for this flower. I like Dutchman's Breeches too.<br /><br />The name change was quite a while ago, but garden centres in particular are sticking steadfastly with the old name which, I think, most of us can remember better! I was chatting to a scientist at Kew a couple of weeks ago - for them the name changes are far more than we experience. He said sometimes the reclassifications are v surprising, but when you look closely again at the taxonomy, the characteristics are usually there, even if they can be a bit hard to spot!<br /><br />A warm welcome to Bookworm and Wife, Mother, Gardener - thanks for stopping by :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-74571851929824725492012-05-16T20:19:18.909+01:002012-05-16T20:19:18.909+01:00I did not know that the name had been changed! yik...I did not know that the name had been changed! yikes.

They do well here in upstate New York where I live, but I have never had good luck with the red/white ones. Only the yellow ones, for some reason.
