I’m joining Cathy this week as she hosts seven days of colour to remind us of the beauty from the past spring and summer – all with the goal of making a cold and perhaps grey and snowy December a bit more bearable. I’ve been looking for flower photos that I haven’t yet shared, and came across the queen of the spring garden; she grows just outside the dining room window and is quite spectacular at the beginning of June.
I grew up knowing pink, deep rose, and white peonies, but this one? If I could grow them, this would be my first choice. Lemon chiffon pie is my favorite shade of yellow (sorry, sunflowers and such!)
You know, I think I’m with you there…a lighter shade of pale yellow is more calming than vibrant…slows your beating heart instead of giving you chills…probably a nice colour of paint indoors as well.
Wow, this is a stunning peony, Chris. Over a dozen blooms! 🤩
It’s really something!
Wow, what a beauty! Not just the colour, but the number of flowers! The poem is lovely too Chris. 😁☀️🌸
Thanks Cathy!
A true beauty 💫
😊
Ah, another flower that we do not grow here. (Rambling in the Garden posted a picture of clematis, which does not perform well here.) Peonies are so enviable. I know that they ‘can’ grow here, but I rarely see them perform well.
That’s unfortunate eh? Peonies can be problematic, but if the stars align they’re just so amazing.
Those are beauties!
They are!
