Climbed into the garden...
And came out with...
THESE!!!!

There must be a reward of some kind....
For growing such beautiful specimens...
"I hereby award you...linda...the prize for growing such beautiful specimens"...

Beautiful! Wow, so many gorgeous blooms. They must smell heavenly. You sure do deserve an award for growing beautiful peonies! Congratulations! :)
ReplyDeleteYes they do....My daughter said she could smell them coming up the front walk to the front door!!
DeleteOh yours are fabulous, I only had about 5 blooms, and a thunderstorm caused me to have to cut them early, but I was so happy to have them. I think they may be the same variety. so so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra...they were fabulous this year!
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! How do you get so many blooms??
ReplyDeleteIt's a secret...if you are nice to me...perhaps I'll share!! ha!
DeleteLOL!!! Now you need a sash and a crown for your GSBS Award!
ReplyDeleteThose blooms are HUGE!
I am wearing a sash and a crown already!!
DeleteDon't you know I live like a Queen...everyday! hahaha!
They are HUGE!!!
Those are fabulous indeed! I would love to have some of those beauties in my yard!!!
ReplyDeletexo Kris
If I could share a plant...you know I would, Kris!!!
DeleteWow, peony gorgeousness ... for sure an award of some sort ... now what sort??
ReplyDeleteit could be the Blog Bragger award ... the most peonies in one cut award ... the pink peony award ... and more
They all sound fab-u-lous!
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! We are in the process of "reclaiming" the garden and yard on a house we just bought and retired in to. Perhaps these would do well in an area I have been puzzled about. Will have to read up on peonies ... as I am clueless about them ... lilacs and spirea (bridal wreath) have always been my "go to" plantings ... they are magnificent!! Thanks for sharing ~ Linda
ReplyDeleteLilacs and Spirea are fantastic....Peonies are awesome!!!
Deletei noticed you didn't thank your piano teacher ....
ReplyDeleteseriously.
NOBODY takes more beautiful pictures of flowers than you do. you could honest to god make your living at it.

i have to fall back and regroup. i'm out of adjectives to describe your talents! LOL!!! love. xo
Oh I forgot...
DeleteThank you Mrs.Rowe...she was the Ministers wife...and a ripe old bag!!!! ha!
Thanks for coming Tammy...always love when you visit!!!
I brought in a peony from my garden, put it in a vase on my counter, and took some pics of it. I'm not sure if I am more excited about the purdy flower on my counter, or the purdy pics I now have! Seriously. Pics last forever! :) I'll post my fave one this friday...
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you here again Sylvie!!!
DeleteI will check out your peony when I return from the cottage!!
