I love bleeding hearts, I wish I had a spot for them at my house. Beautiful banner!

How did the banner and the post end up with flipped images? I've never seen that happen before.

Always an occasion for joy when the Bleeding Hearts bloom in spring.

"How did the banner and the post end up with flipped images? I've never seen that happen before. "

I've seen it a number of times, and even had it happen to some of my banners. It's done by the admin, presumably because it gives a better appearance when a repeat or partial repeat of the banner appears on, for example, wide monitors. In this case, flipping the banner made the pretty pink 'hearts' repeat first, rather than green foliage.

That makes perfect sense, I do that myself at times before uploading. Thanks for the explanation.

I love Bleeding Heart…sure wish they were a longer lived Perrennial. I've planted them a number of times, because they are so pretty but they only seem to come back a few times.

@Zoia
My problem, too. I thought maybe just the wrong zone, we're 10A, but looks like they should be easy to grow, especially in Boston 6A.

Rachael, you're in Essex, UK...nice & cool there?
I may have to try again, though. Smiling
