Mate in 2

I saw this a long time ago in the tactics trainer, and I've always wanted to be able to use it in a real game.  Today my dream came true :)

It's really nice when that happens. At the chess club tonight, I had White against a player 200 points higher than me. I got a winning position after 21.Bd3, but I missed the quick win after 21.Bc4 (mate in 7).

White to play

I can see how Bc4 would lead to a win, but your puzzle doesn't seem to be working.  

I don't think there was anything actually wrong with Bd3 either.  Stacking the rooks on the h-file would be pretty crushing

How would you play for Black to stop mate in 7 after 21.Bc4?
