We’ve had torrential rain for most of the past week, but they seem to be holding on.
The pink ones grow right next to the house, on the shady side.
Everything on that side blooms about a month later than everything on the sunny side of the house. I like the fact that it's spaced out like that. I'll take coming home to this for as long as I can.
The white ones were planted in front of the house, with roses and several other bushes. I don't think whoever planted them realized how much everything would grow over time, so it's a little wild and tangled. I kind of like the way all of the different colors and flowers are packed in. The roses over there shade the white peonies some, so they bloom later too.
I normally prefer more colorful flowers, but I think these are absolutely gorgeous. The petals just seem so creamy and perfect. And I love how vivid the green leaves are against them.
Can you tell I have a thing for peonies?
Now if it would just stop raining so we could spend some time outside enjoying them!
Do you have any late bloomers?
