Wednesday, May 19, 2010. Its feels so good to be back out in the garden in earnest again. Last year was a difficult one due to recurring back problems and the garden, sadly, was neglected. Getting back on top of everything is a lot of work this year, but there is something so satisfying to see each bed in turn revamped, weeded out, and looking good again.

Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Two more tree peonies have started to flower. This one, above, is my favourite, as it has the 'wild' irregular look that I find so appealing. The other, below, is pure white, and such a HUGE flower. At least 9 inches or more across! Alas, this one isn't as reliable and doesn't flower every year. I guess producing such large flowers takes a lot of energy for the plant. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Two more tree peonies have started to flower. T.
