Peonies in the afternoon

Chas · May 5, 2010 · Leave a Comment

The storms over the weekend weren’t as bad as expected, but I did have one tragedy. My gorgeous peony who was just about to bloom all the way out toppled over and broke.
But… the grand thing was I was able to bring it inside to enjoy on our supper table.

Peonies are flowers I remember from my childhood… growing at my Nannie Red’s house. They were SO big and full. Such beautiful, huge blooms on such seemingly small stems.
I love it when something familiar strikes a chord and memories come flooding back.
Good times.

    Beautiful! I was so excited to realize the plants springing up out front were actually peonies. They have large, growing buds, but they haven't quite bloomed yet.
