Peonies in our Garden




Hello everyone,

It is a cold spring day here so
I am enjoying some garden
beauty from last years shots.

I love peonies and have collected
well over a hundred over the
many years that I have been
gardening here on the Island.


The peonies above were both
given to me by my Dad when
I first started gardening and
over the years I have divided
them in the early fall and moved
them around the garden. The one
in the foreground is Festiva Maxima.
It is a tall white one with a stoke
of red .


The peony in the foreground here
is Nymphe and in the background
is another from my Dad.


Sara Bernhardt is a popular peony.



I love this one....raspberry
sundae I believe.



Roses and peonies with
lilacs in the background.


Peonies surround the cherubs
in the garden.


I am so looking forward to seeing
our peonies bloom again!

Do you have a favorite peony?

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn

I love them all! but do love the white ones and the very palest pink ones. They must like a wet climate. I've tried growing them here in (hot) central Oregon, and they just don't do anything. I may get one bloom on one plant for the entire season! I just love them and wish I could grow them! Your gardens are just so so so so stunning! Marilyn
