Pink peonies on my windowsill
My peonies are beginning to bloom. Here are the first two I picked from my yard. This year there are dozens of those wonderful spherical buds out there, all plump with possibilities. I love peonies!

The peonies are just gorgeous. I love the vibrant color and the way you have them arranged by the window. I’m delighted that I found you through Pink Saturday! -Lola at http://www.dharmakilleddogma.blogspot.com

peonies, the Chinese national flower. They used them as decor for their head dress.

They are very beautiful with those little darker patches on some petals. Ours are long gone.

Apt way todescribe them, “plump”. Yes, and full of color, texture and aroma — great flower [and photo].

Oh they are gorgeous! I almost bought some today. I saw just this color and yes they were so plump and pretty. I was just sitting here thinking about kicking myself for not picking them up. I might have to go back tomorrow! Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful weekend!

Those would brighten my day to look out the window through these beautiful flowers. Gorgeous!

Peonies are such a joy and I love them so very much. Unfortunately I can only grow my single plant in the shade-house and even there our hot, dry summer winds can crisp the foliage on a 110F day.
Thank you for this treat.

Thaks for extending the peony season for me, ours are gone.
