Peonies ~ The Queen Of The Garden

Hello...  I hope you are all doing well.  It was another warm and sunny weekend here.  Well, it feels more like true hot summer heat around here to tell you the truth but I am not going to complaint since we our winter was terribly long and cold.

Nothing special going on.  The weekend was just taking care of normal house work.  I have been enjoying a little time off and to spend time with family doing some local touring on the weekends. We visited lovely Longwood Gardens, Lambertville, NJ, New Hope, PA and the Jersey Shore.  All very refreshing for the soul and incredibly inspiring.

Most of all, I have enjoyed spending time in my garden.  May is pure magic for the garden.  It is what I dream about all winter.  Warm sun, blue skies, pretty green grass and new blooms announcing the arrival of spring and summer.   But there is nothing more anticipated than the opening of my peony blooms.

Here I share a few photos that capture all their majestic beauty.  I hope you enjoy.

Like jewels in the garden....  The peony is almost regal....  Its delicate petals and fragrant charm captivate our  hearts as well as our sight....  I can't imagine a more majestic flower in the garden.

Don't you just love all the pretty shades of pink???

Delicate blooms that speak to the heart.

It is difficult to determine where inspiration begins and ends when graced by such luscious blooms.

I hope May was as beautiful and glorious in your garden as it was in mine.

Fondly,

Janet
