Peonies and Other Garden Beauties

I kept forgetting to get pictures of these beautiful Peonies at work. Unfortuneately they were droopy by the time I remembered. I wish I could have caught them for you when they were still fresh and perky. They were soooo gorgious!!! They are actually the size of a dinner plate. The next door neighbors, who are both artists, have them in their garden.



Mine aren't quite as big but I love them still. I cut some for a vase and left it on the poarch. I don't want to have to kill the ants inorder to bring them in.



It was such a gorgious day here, finally, I spent the afternoon taking pictures of my garden for everyone. I planted some Calendula in my garden this year. I want to add them to my summer salads.

Here's some Chamomile I just planted as well. It smells scrumptous!

I've had these Egyption onions for years. My artist friend Veronica gave them to me when she was thinning hers out. I love how ornate they become.

My apple and orange mint are doing well. I also have Bergamot whicn I'll catch when in bloom.

There's only a few Poppies left. Most have started going to seed now.


This Comfrey was here when I arrived. It's quite lovely and it's great in a poltice for cuts and bone problems.


Watering the garden and admiring the drops on the leaves.

My Roses are starting to bloom in the front yard.

This is the first year my Clamatis bloomed, yah!!!


My wonderful Lavender. Can't get enough of the stuff. I'm very excited about a friend out near Rice Lake who is Bee keeping now and planting rows of Lavender so the Bees can make Lavender honey. I'd like to get out there and blog all about it for you.

My heart of stone. My actual heart is a little softer.

My smoke plant which is looking vibrant this year!!


That's all for now. Hope you enjoy.
Spell check won't work for me tonight so I hope you'll all forgive my plethera of spelling errors.
