Peony

“The little boy nodded at the peony and the peony seemed to nod back. The little boy was neat, clean and pretty. The peony was unchaste, dishevelled as peonies must be, and at the height of its beauty.(…) Every hour is filled with such moments, big with significance for someone.”
― Robertson Davies, What’s Bred in the Bone

Nothing is more wistful than the scent of lilac, nor more robust than its woody stalk, for we must remember that it is a tree as well as a flower, we must try not to forget this.  –Stevie Smith

It’s About the Blooms

Earth laughs in flowers. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The intent was there.  I really meant to get the weeding done.  And I did.  A little.

But then there was the retreat. 

And it has been raining ever since I got home.

So…for those who asked…and for those who didn’t…more of what’s blooming in my garden.
