First flowers to bloom in our gardens were the daffodils than the tulips followed by Iris’s and a few others. Now it is peony time. The peony bush in the front rain garden is blooming. Peonies are some of the most beautiful and full flowers in the garden but they come and go fast. On the other hand the roses that are now blooming will stay with us the whole summer into the fall.
Peony time comes at the beginning of summer. We even had a few days this week were the temperature were in the 80’s. Our bush is pink but I have seen other colors. As the peonies come fast and go fast other plants are taking their time in growing. The tomato plants are slow but a few hot days might speed up the growth.
The flower vase on our kitchen table keeps changing fresh flowers but will last until the end of growing season, well into the fall. Fresh cut flowers have a limited life spam once they are picked but they bring some of the beauty of the garden inside.
Flowers, like us, come and go thru life, and like us at our shining moments, leave some beauty behind. Now it is Peony Time.
