Another Pretty Picture......


When I think of older varieties of peony I include this one with the group.  I actually am not an authority on this flower but this is the one I saw most when a kid on the farm.  All the farmsteads had this peony blooming in their yards.  I have one of these plants out on my alley in the far back corner of the property.  I don't think I placed it there but it sits at the base of the power company's transformer pole.  I rarely see it except when I am out mowing the orchard area.

It really is gorgeous. We don't have much success growing peonies here in GA. Mama did have one white one and I remember how the ants loved the blooms.
Wishing you a peaceful day.

A true beauty, Larry. This penoy is so beautiful.

Crowded.....

 The tulip was up first but the peony is now spreading out and shoving the tulip around a bit.
