Day 180 – Peonies

My peonies are about a week later to open than last year.

But there are also way more blooms.

Nine of the bright fuchsia ones.

And looks like there will be two of the lighter pink ones.

They look SO pretty!

Day 176 – Flowerboxes

I planted these tonight in the misty rain – one on each side of the front deck railing.

I cannot wait to see them in full bloom this summer.

Day 132 – Fleurs

I think I warned you that after all the snow pictures this winter, expect lots of flower pictures this summer.  While we did have some wet flakes falling this evening, I got out before that to take some pics of my spring flowers in bloom.

The daffodils and tulips look great and I love that the lupins in behind will then bloom after these flowers die off. The blue hydrangea will then take over after that. Love the multi coloured daffodils.

I pulled these out of a north facing bed and replanted them in the south facing one – they obviously enjoy this side more.

Hopefully the allium open before the peonies get too tall.

And darn these bleeding hearts.  Every year I pull what I think is the final piece of root out of this bed and every year a bit comes back.  I love the look of these, but they will completely take over the bed if you let them.  Maybe I should dig it up now instead of letting it grow over the summer. I think I put some back in the tree line to see if they would grow there – I should check on that tomorrow evening.
