Becky, look at those lovely blooms and all the baby 'buds' waiting to make your home more beautiful. I love peonies abut can't grow them here, so send more pics when you can. Looks like you have the soil and temps and location to make them happy, so plant more....can't wait to see the red ones.
Blessings and thanks for sharing.

Just took picture of my Vanda orchid on my patio. It's in full bloom right now. Will send pic asap.

Please note: I got call from Mayo and CT angiogram was ok this morning. But, it was only for the aortic aneurysm basically, re surgeon. Nurse told me with symptoms I'm having, to go NOW to ED for work-up as it can't be done as outpatient like I wanted. So, folks, I'm on the way to the ED, after I p/u my son's meds for him. I'll drive there and hope to come home tomorrow I guess as these things go. Will be a good thing to get answers and treatment so I can go walking again!!!
Bless you all. elizabeth

Cute birdhouse, too.

Thank goodness for my phone! Busy here and bored....ess

Beautiful. These are the most interesting flowers. We have them right at the edge of the river bank. It appears that they were planted years ago when there was a small building sitting right behind them. We have also found some porch poles and granite slabs. You know you are in "the granite city" everywhere you look. I am afraid they won't show up in the spring but they do. Thanks for sharing Becky. I have never seen red ones.

Be content and at peace.

Those are my favorite color because they remind me of Mom, Grandma and our old Polish- neighbor. I just cut a bouquet of my pale pink ones because they weren't too happy in the heat, so I'm enjoying them on the dining room table.

I think I counted 22 plants blooming here today - but a lot are natives that don't like to be cut.
