I checked the picture at the website that you indicated, Chris, and that is
not the one that I am talking about. I must have the Dicentra exima. The
leaves are much smaller and frillier. The plant is also smaller. The
blooms are pink, without any white on them. So what I have is not the old
fashioned bleeding heart???
