I wait all year with giddy anticipation for my peonies to bloom.
So with much hoopla, I am proud to announce that my white peony has blossomed. Does it sound like I'm announcing the birth of a child or something? Well, same sort of thing.
I think it's a Duchesse De Nemours, but I have lost the tag that came with it so I am not 100% sure.
Get out of my buds!
I also have a light pink Sarah Bernhardt peony which should be blooming within the week and a brand new dark pink Victoire de la Marne which isn't even in the ground yet.
After the storm last night, I was a little scared to go out and look at my peonies. They survived OK,
just a little droopy and water logged.
But the ants are back, so that's a good sign.

They are stunning and I am so glad I get to see them for I cannot grow them in this nuclear heat.

I use to have a pink peony. But the ants just devoured it. What's with the ants and the peonies?

Pam- Your blooms are lovely! I wish I could grow flowers in a garden- it's all I can do to keep the entry pots watered! Of course, with all this crazy wet weather Ohio has been having, I haven't watered but the first time I planted them! Did you get the bad storms last night? There were HUGE hailstones in our area- up to the size of a baseball! Thank goodness we only got hit with little ones- inch and a half.

I absolutely LOVE peonies. White ones and palest pink are my favorite. Mine are a slightly darker pink than I would prefer, but what's a girl to do. 😉 Mine are just beginning to open, which is typical. Stormy weather comes along just as the peonies open, often leaving them tattered, but I try to get as many in as possible. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous white peonies with us. It made my day!

Your peonies are beautiful Pam! I love the white. I may have to try peonies this year but it has been raining so much I haven't had time to garden. I hope that you didn't get too bad of storms yesterday.
Erin is so creative and so sweet. Her shop is adorable and how wonderful to feature her. 🙂
Have a great weekend!

What a pretty peony! Does it smell divine? Ours haven't opened yet, but we did have our first rosebush bloom this week! Yay! Peonies are one of my favorites. I wish they lasted all summer!
