This morning, I spotted the first pink hearts dangling from my bleeding heart plant, and I swear I did a little happy dance. Last month, I almost gave up on it because the leaves looked so sad. But I remembered to keep the soil moist (not soggy!) and tucked it into a shady corner where the afternoon sun can’t scorch it. Watching those blooms pop open feels like a reward for all the patience and gentle watering. I even tossed some mulch around the base to keep the roots cool, and it totally paid off. Now, every time I walk by, I get this little jolt of joy. If you’re thinking about growing one, trust the process and give it a cozy spot. The blooms are worth every bit of effort. #gardening #springblooms #bleedingheart
