    Peony Parade

    Published by Pam Kessler | 67 words. · About 1 minute to read this article. -

    I have three peonies in my garden, but only one is in bloom so far.

    This is my Victoire de la Marne peony. It's a great deep redish purple color. Or as I like to say - dark pink.

    I'm off to a barn sale today and a few garage sales. Enjoy your Friday and take time to stop and smell the peonies.

      I have to enjoy your peonies because it is too blamed hot here for them. I have a hydrangea on my front stoop that color I shall be posting soon though. Happy Mother's Day my friend.

      Very pretty, love the color! Two have opened up so far for me, and it seems like they're about two weeks early... Happy Mother's Day Weekend Pam:@)

      Can you believe I don't have any peonies?! I should have taken them with me when we moved. Yours are "picture perfect".

      Oh, a barn sale!!!!! I wish I could come along!

      Ooooohhh, what a fantastic color! LOVE!!! My peonies aren't blooming yet, but they have fat buds all over them and will soon see some blooms, I'm sure. I love the name of this one; so French! So elegant! I'd love to have this one on my garden, for sure.

      Those are gorgeous! I love peonies and hoping my own bloom this year. I had to transplant the one and I know they don't like being moved. Have fun at the barn sale! xo Diana

      I swear I can smell them! I love Peony's but I have never been able to get one grow in my yard. The clay dirt just isn't good for them. They are the loveliest things, though!

      Beautiful! They are one of my favorites. I've got a row of them planted beside my driveway. They are fairly new but actually have quite a few buds this year. I can't wait. I LOVE their scent. 🙂

      Beautiful! I love peonies. We used to have several on our property but as the walnut trees have gotten larger, the peonies have gotten punier. Or maybe they were just old, who knows? I have one newer one that I planted, and it looks like it will bloom this year, but I've been disappointed before by buds that never open. 🙁

      Yours is gorgeous; love that color!

      I wish that I had planted some, now what am I going to smell! Yours is gorgeous!
