Can you tell me how the Bleeding Heart Plant got it's name? I can't seem to find an answer.?

I've been asked by a 6 year old. I made up a fairy tale . He just wasn't buying that.

Can you tell me how the Bleeding Heart Plant got it's name? I can't seem to find an answer.?
The flowers are heart shaped. They have a petal formation that hangs below the bloom that looks like a drop. Hence bleeding hearts.


See the image below. I got it off the internet.
Reply:Because when the plant blooms, it is like a spray of flowers each one being smaller the the one before it and also lighter in color hence bleeding heart oh also each little flower looks like a heart
Reply:If you look at the flower, it really does look like a heart shape drip.
Reply:Take him to the Heart Hospital and quit treating him like a baby!
