The Asian bleeding-heart, a species of flowering plant known for its pink-red, heart-shaped flowers with white tips, was recently in bloom at a botanical garden in Luoyang city, central China’s Henan Province.
The flowering plant is known as the “purse peony” in China, in reference to the resemblance of the individual flowers to a type of traditional Chinese purse and of the foliage to that of tree peonies. Its heart-shaped flowers represent eternal love and longing.
