Peonies

Peonies are a staple and permanent perennial in my gardens. They give a pleasing fragrance and lots of beauty in mid-spring here. The pink one is Lottie Dawson Rea; the white is Bowl Of Cream; both are exceptional performers.

Gorgeous banner, Leon! I've never grown them, but they are beautiful. I guess I should give them a try.

Beautiful banner!

Peony Perfect! Beautifully captured for the banner. They're a staple in my garden also.

Love the banner!

I grew up with peonies and love them even though they don't do well here.

Nice banner. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful banner Leon!

Gorgeous banner Leon

Good morning everyone; and thanks for your comments. I remember the morning that I took this photo; and there was a light sprinkling of raindrops on the grass and peony leaves. They don't show up in the photo so much, but look like "specks" in the banner. I am posting the original picture and a couple others for illustration.

Gorgeous, Leon. Beautifully cultivated peonies and lovely banner

Beautiful blooms & banner, Leon.

It's one plant I've always wanted to grow, but
they've never made it here.
Too hot, too dry.

Cal, I grow them here. See my avatar. I'm in the same zone as you.

Thanks everyone for your comments, thumbs and acorns. Your involvement is always appreciated and very special!
