Peonies for Alice

I'm back...and guess what...I've got more Peonies 
because they are bloomin gorgeous! 


My Dad had one Peony bush back home...
and he nursed it for something like 8 years
until it finally flowered...
every year we would be ushered outside to admire
the one and only Peony on the bush.


I used to pretend to be enthusiastic about this
particular flower...
after all it was a bright citrusy yellow colour...
not really my cup of tea.


It wasn't till I moved to England
and really experienced their true magnificence
that I could really appreciate the Peony.


Now I can't get enough of them...


To Alice, back home in chilly Melbourne..
hope you're feeling better.

I'm off for a walk to photograph all the other
'bloomin marvellous' flowers in our village.

    They are lovely Robynne, your home too. I know what you mean about the yellow ones, quite hard to place in the garden, have a lovely weekend x

    I love peonies. They remind of my Mom. She had white peonies in the garden.
