Vibrant start.
One evening, my dear wife Karen was calling me out to our backyard corner to look at a bud or three popping out on our beloved peony tree.
The next morning, I was showing her this photo of blooming and great activity.
Yes, this cornerstone plant moves fast!

Yes, they really explode. Unfortunately, they fade quite fast.
We just published a post about peonies. We live in the ideal climate zone for peonies. That’s why we have peony farms here.
Happy weekend

It’s like the artists during the time of Romanticism. They wanted a short but beautiful life, and they had it.
