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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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:(

  8. 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.
