Loving My Flowers.....

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty Boise Idaho SP20114

It has been a great morning!    peonies

I think that we may be actually going to get warmer weather one of these days. 

It is a bit overcast now and will most likely rain tonight....

We are in the High Desert of Southwest Idaho so we only get about 10-12 inches of precipitation per year....

This year we are way ahead of schedule..

One of the benefits of all of this rain in Nampa Idaho this spring is the fact that our flowers have all loved the moisture! 

My peonies bloomed this week and have been amazing!  

Of the 3 bushes in my yard I bet each one had over a 100 blooms! 

 

PeoniesI picked a bunch of them this morning and came up with 2 bouquets! 

I love the lush yet delicate colors of my peonies!  

I send a thank you to my Uncle Gary who gave me starts a few years ago!  

Fresh flowers in the house add so much life in my opinion!

I hope your flowers give you as much joy as mine give me!!!!

 

If you don't have fresh flowers to cut from your own yard then consider going down to the Nampa Farmers Market to buy a bouquet.

Deborah - those are beautiful.  I looked up Nampa, ID on wikipedia to see your temps, because I thought if you're in the desert, maybe peonies would work here in Arizona.  But, your average temps are 30 degrees below ours, guess that's why we can't grow them, LOL.  I didn't know Mark Lindsay, lead singer of Paul Revere and the Raiders came from Nampa - he was my teenage hearththrob, LOL.

Very pretty, very sweet  It is so hot here and we are in an unsual drought.  All that is surviving it seems are  Lantana, Mexican Heather, & Crepe Myrtles (floral tree).

Deborah,

Your peonies are absolutely gorgeous! I had them up north in Chicago but I can't get them to grow here in Texas. It's really, really hot over here. Temps are not equally distributed, are the? I'm glad you are finding joy in you pink peonies. They are among my favorites!

Thanks Frank and Karen....I need to do an actual post on the Nampa Farmers Market....but this did in a pinch!  LOL

Al and Peggy ...you are too kind!   But I agree....any flowers in the house brighten my day!

Patricia.....no the temps certainly aren't distributed evenly at all!   This is crazy but my husband who is in the Northern Illinois weather actually has had better weather than us this past month!

Hi Deborah, I absolutely love peonies and planted 10 plants when I moved to my home in 2008.  I had two blooms this year and was so excited.  Your peonies are gorgeous and the scent is heavenly.  Enjoy!

Those are beautiful, Deborah, so delicate and old-fashioned looking somehow. Reminds me of a Southern lady.
