It has been a busy month in the garden,
a record hot spell,
ended spring blooms too soon...
then heavy rains...
everything seemed to bloom
and pass in the wink of an eye...
these are actually photos
from a couple weeks ago!
I have some more spring blooms
I'll share soon too...
The Roses
have just started this week!!!
my little Tree Peony,
is only a few feet tall...
this is his third year in the garden,
they are slow growers...
the first year only two blooms,
the second year four...
this year six!
giant fluffy grapefruit sized blooms...
they are short lived on the tree,
and usually I never get them picked before it's too late...
this year I pounced on them....
three went straight to my drying rack....
and three to the table...
buried in all the white fluffy petals,
at the heart of the Peony,
is a lilac center...
I love the way they bloom
at the same time as the Lilacs
and make such a pretty pairing...
Thanks for Stopping by...
