Each day brings something new..



My 'farmers' peony on Monday

and on Tuesday morning - surprise-surprise - the first blossom opened!


We don't have lots of garish colors and rarely in red,
but  love to have just a spot of color here and there.


This peony doing the right 'job' for me!


It looks like 'painted-in'

    Karin, what a beautiful, beautiful post! I'm doing so much sighing here...the farmer's peony is such a glorious colour amongst the white flowers, the magnificent red climbing rose and the urns; I'll take them all!

    Totally impressed by your urns! That first one is amazing. They are one of my favorite "accessories" anywhere, anytime.

    Karin...Oh what beautiful flowers. We love urns. Recently lime washed a cast iron urn and it turned out well. Just trying to decide what to put in it.
