The story of the bleeding heart:
It is said that a prince loved a princess who took no notice of him. To try to get the princess's attention and prove his love, he brought her exquisite and amazing gifts from far and wide. One day he came across two magical pink bunnies and offered them both to the princess.
At this point, the story teller pulls off the two outer pink petals and sets each on it sides to show the animals.
The princess was unmoved by the rabbits so, he tried again and presented her with beautiful dangly earrings.
The next two inner white petals are separated and held up next to the narrator's ears for display.
Still, the princess paid him no attention. The prince was so distraught over being spurned that he took a dagger and stabbed himself.
The remaining centre of the flower is shaped like an outline of a heart with a line down the centre. The heart is held up, the dagger-like line is removed, and the story teller plunges the "knife" through the heart's centre.
The princess, realizing too late that she did love the prince, cried out, "My heart shall bleed for my prince forever more!" and her heart bleeds to this day.

CommentsI love bleeding hearts. That's a lovely and well-executed photo.
-- I can forgive you the secrets you keep, but not the smiles.  Cool story
 My dad says to say that he likes it to and he is a self proclaimed photographer. I'm very interested in the story. Were did you come across it?-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Rest of the world. I was too young to vote when Bush was elected. Of course he was not really elected by a majority of Americans in the first place. We're Sorry that's a really cool title for the pics, couldn't imagine a better name, but you should add more negative space to your pics
 -- Garrit Pieper garritpieper.com It's an old folklore my grandmother told me. She grew bleeding hearts in her back yard and did the actions for me it's really neat.
 Thank you for the fave -- Danielle McKay Director of Community Relations deviantART, inc. awsome picture
 You're welcome. I like the way you incorperated that story into the art. Thats the kind of old guy I wanna be. I love plants, children, and storries.
-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Rest of the world. I was too young to vote when Bush was elected. Of course he was not really elected by a majority of Americans in the first place. We're Sorry i love that there is a repeating pattern of hearts in this. it makes me think of a string of broken hearts...
