Peony in Bloom

We have a beautiful tree peony right by our front door.  It is heavenly in spring when it blooms!


There are six blooms on it right now and all of them are huge!




Just a few days ago one of the buds looked like this.


What a difference a few days make.




Peonies were my Mom's favorite flowers, so it always touches my heart to see these.  She would've loved them!




Thanks for your visit.

    Hi Pam,
    Those peony blooms are so gorgeous! I tried to grow one years ago. It took 3 years for it to have one bloom on it, but I was excited about that one! I should try to grow one here because I love them so.

    Beautiful, I just mowed my peonies down. The people that live in our second home don't tend the flowers so I did away wit them:(

    Oh how lucky you are Pam!! I need to see if I can get some to grow down here!! We have ordered them for Mallory's bouquet...white ones, and they are $6-$8 each!! Simply enchanting, aren't they?

    And I just found the recipe for that bread in the previous post yesterday! I will be baking some soon!! Looks fabulous!

    Hugs,

    Gorgeous blooms! Peonies are one of my favorite flowers along with hydrangea. I have 2 peonie bushes and hope to get more one day. It's nice to have a flower that reminds you of your mom. The color is beautiful.

    Seems you really love your peonies, you even took the pictures before and after few days. Some says that the best time to plant peony is during fall.

    Hi darling, I'm hoping when I do my little walk this morning I'll still see blooms. We had quite the storm last night they could all be on the ground. :-( hugs ~lynne~
