Default Tropical Storm Soaked Flowers

My poor flower garden has been battered all summer, providing few photo opportunities this year.Here are the brave souls preparing for the next few days' deluges. The Bleeding Heart appears to be thumbing its nose (tongue) at the weather

That is the most beautiful bleeding heart - what variety is it and where did you get it? Is it in a container or planted in the ground. Used to have them up north, didn't think you could grow them this far south.......

I got this particular plant at the Butterfly exhibit in Gainsville. I'd be happy to give you some cuttings? PM me.
