Random Beauty

Hello everyone,

We had another lovely group here this morning to tour the garden. It was a beautiful sunny day and it is such a pleasure to share the garden with such enthusiastic visitors. After leaving our garden they go to visit the late Tasha Tudor's garden in Vermont-I would love to be going with them. The tour guide met Tasha three years ago when she was still quite well. If you would like to see a beautiful video of Tasha's garden go here and visit Anna at A Very Fairy Garden.

The tree peony and early peonies from our garden. I have a white tree peony but I had to move it a couple of years ago and it has sulked ever since-hopefully next year it will bloom.

Some of the early lilacs(french) are still blooming and the Preston lilacs are just starting to bloom.

I hope you enjoyed a little random beauty today. I enjoyed some free time this afternoon with our grandson Alec and now I am off to visit my sweet Mama. I hope you had a good day too!



Thank you for visiting,


Carolyn

Your garden is gorgeous Carolyn! Your tree peony has the loveliest color. I actually mourn when the lilacs are done. Mine have been blooming about a week now and I am enjoying everyday in the garden. The smell is just heavenly.

Carolyn,
Random beauty...such beauty, I have never seen such gorgeous photos of flowers. I have never seen a tree peony, I would love to some time.
My peonies have just started blooming, but there are ants crawling all over them, how do you get them off before you take them into the house? Or do you have that problem?
Thank you for all of the beautiful photos.
