Tuesday's Treasures ~ Still blooming

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

Growing up in upstate NY I've fond memories of the peony bushes my mom planted. There were bright pink, light pink and white ones. We use to make the most beautiful bouquets of flowers while they were in bloom.

Recently my brother and sister-in-law went back for a high school reunion and drove by our old house in the country. My brother got out and snapped a photo of our peony bushes and they are still blooming after all these years! Made me smile, I guess they were right when they said peonies are long lived perennials!

Mom also planted peonies and this brought back some childhood memories.

Dorrie, how beautiful.  I love peonies, they have such a wonderful scent and the added advantage of attracting ants is only a bonus.

I have several nice roses, but none of them are pure pink.  After looking at that photo, I need to visit the garden center.

I had pink and white peonies in my yard in upstate N.Y. The fragrance was awesome.

Good morning, Dorie. I adore peonies and am thinking of planting a bush or two. I have a vase of them in my bedroom right now... a thoughtful gift from a friend yesterday.
