I'll let the petals speak for themselves!
Their fragrance gives me the same old fashioned feeling as roses, lavender and lilac's do.
Sweet, pungent and pure heaven to look at !!!
We only grow two Peonies plants in our garden and I would love to plant more! I just covet them when they blossom.
Here's something I DIDN'T KNOW about Peonies ( yes, they come in red too; but besides that ) when I planted ours 5 years ago. The Peonie buds have a hard waxy coating on them that large carpenter aunts eat away so the bud can burst open...A Gardner friend told me about this while we stood over my peonies watching the aunts work their magic. Lunch for the ants...
BEAUTIFUL BLOSSOMS FOR US!
PERFECT!

They are lovely...I should see if they would grow here in my gardens.
ReplyDeleteThey are stunning. Mine did nothing last year so I need to look into getting me a couple more of them. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, What a lovely way to start this Friday morning. The sun is out, glistening on my new counter top, and coaxing the tulips to stick their heads up just a bit farther. I did not know about the carpenter ants, though I have seen them. I thought they were just pests...now I know, thank you. I have four Peonies and they are beautiful. I went out to water the new Sycamore just the other day and checked out the garden to see if there's any activity. No Peonies yet...but it's only a matter to time!
ReplyDeleteLove, Nan
Oh wow to have a peony in bloom right now. So wonderful. V
ReplyDeleteThe peony is one of my favorite flowers too. I always hope for cool weather when they bloom so they last longer. Your peonies are gorgeous. I am working on a little peony stained glass lamp right now for our bedroom. I'm so glad I found your pictures as they are the shade of pink I'm using. I can use your photos for a model!
ReplyDeletethe guy next door gave me the red/ burgundy peony last year out of his garden...I can't wait!
ReplyDeletewe woke up to 3 more inches of snow today!!! HELLO!!! MOTHER NATURE? IT'S MARCH....TIME TO MELT!!!
