We had plenty of rain this morning everything is really growing. My Amelanchier × grandiflora 'Autumn Brilliance' serviceberry tree is blooming. The tulips are so beautiful this year and have increased nicely. The rain is making the magnolia blooms fall apart the grass is carpeted in pink. I will have to cut the lawn soon, my neighbor already cut theirs.
Although we live in the north you folks in Canada and Alaska most certainly are still having winter, hope it warms up for you soon.
Margaret is correct that peonies are though plants, some here are more than 65 years old, they came from my parents farm.
