Bleeding Heart: A Symbol of Beauty and Uniqueness

A white colored flower which I have had for a year. I consider this flower very unique because a small red flower comes out of the womb of a white flower. Seeing this provides great relief and peace. Ever since I bought this plant last year, I have become a fan of its beauty and the uniqueness of this flower. Just yesterday a friend of mine told me the name of this flower and believe me, I have become crazy about the name of this flower now.

Its name in English is ‘Clerodendrum thomsoniae’ but the name I was told is “Bleeding Heart”. This flower is also called by other names such as bleeding glory bower, glory bower, bagflower and bleeding heart vine. This is all about the world and its name in English. Now let me tell you what is the name of this flower in Hindi..."Jhumar Bell and Jharna Bell". I found both the English name bleeding heart and the Hindi name the most beautiful.

If the name of this flower in Hindi is translated into English, then the name and meaning of this flower will change completely. Jhumar vine will become ‘Chandelier vine’ and the other name Jharna vine will become ‘waterfall vine’. Aha.....as beautiful as the flower is, so beautiful is the name.

First a white flower appeared on the plant, which took about 20 days to bloom and then from the white flower emerged a red heart-shaped flower and now that it has fully bloomed, its beauty is at its peak. If anyone sees this flower, he will keep staring at it because it is not a common flower, it will not be seen anywhere just like that. I have never seen this plant before. And now when I see it I feel very happy, my heart becomes bigger.

Have you also seen this flower before? Now let me leave and leave you with this flower. I hope you like this unique flower. See you in the next post, till then stay happy and keep looking at the flowers.
