'lady's eardrops'

I'm afraid I'll soon run out of *common* names of this flower to put as a title. I already used most of them.

Bleeding Heart, Dicentra spectabilis, one of my favorite Spring flowers.


Dicentra comes from the Greek words dis – two, and kentron – spur, which refers to the flowers having two spurs. Spectabilis means spectacular.
The plant is also known as 'Mary's heart', 'lady's locket', 'Lyre flower', and of course 'lady's eardrops'.
