Luscious Smelling Peonies Thrive in Southeast Oklahoma

Sweetly Aromatic Peonies

Sweet, Sweet, Sweet! I love the smell of peonies.

Every garden should have some for their sweetly fragrant smell.

These white peonies with large blossoms about 6 inches across are in my garden.

Peonies thrive and prosper in Southeast Oklahoma. If you want to bring the fragrance of a flower garden into your home, clip a couple of these and drop them into a bud vase. They bring both their fragrance and beauty in flower arrangements or alone.

Oh Judi, how beautiful. I'm jealous as it's too early in the season here yet. I'm still waiting for the tulips to open lol.

Gorgeous! It's too early for spring here, too...I have one brave daffodil battling it out with the snow!

Jenny, Just think of all the beautiful spring that you have ahead of you. We are already running the air conditioner! I loved the lighthouses on your blog page. Our lakehouse is decorated in a lighthouse theme.

Lisa,

On my... snow! We only get one snow a year, if we're lucky and it's usually gone within 24 hourse.

BEAUTIFUL thank you for sharing I really enjoy the shot that you captured here.

Thank you,

Kim White

Judi- Beautiful photo! Makes me want spring to arrive sooner here in Chicago.

Oh my -- you can almost smell the flowers by looking at the photo. Thanks for posting.

Kim, Thanks! Peonies come in various colors. I've thought of planting some idfferent colors in another area of the garden. I simply love their smell.

Ilyce, Spring will be there soon. Our grandchildren were swimming in the lake today!

Bob and Carolin, If only someone could come up with a way to embed smells into web pages and blogs!

Judi - I love peonies, and this is a beautiful photo. I can imagine the smell!

Sharon, Thanks for stopping to smell the peonies!

Well, it's started snowing again, so I am guessing our neighbors peonies will not be blooming for a bit. I used to have a garden patch FILLED with peonies, about 12'x12' with a path through the middle, to the back door. It was a very old garden, so they were quite large. Do you not have problems with ants on your peonies?

Our Peonies are fixing to bloom. Probably by midweek...

Your building consultant in Nashville, TN

Cheryl, The snow will go away and things will bloom! No, no problems with ants. Did you?

Michael, It's getting to be the "bloomin' time" in your part of the country, isn't it?? We were to the north last week - Neosho, MO visiting kids and grandkids.

I had always heard that Peonies NEEDED ants to eat their nectar to open. So before I responded, I looked it up! Our Peonies were always COVERED in ants, for a while, then they opened and they mostly went away. On occasion one would make it into the house on a flower. What I just researched said they do not NEED the ants, but they are beneficial to the plant and they only like certain varieties! Lucky you, you have tha ant-free variety!
