Peony In My Garden

This peony gave me the grandest show last summer. This was my very first peony in my garden I bought 4 years ago. I always love peony because of its huge flower and a nice smell. I can't imagine my garden in early summer without seeing those gorgeous and voluptuous flowers. I planted few more seedlings given by a friend few years ago and hoping this year will be their time to show off their beauty. Peonies grow 2to 4 feet tall and thrive in sunny flowerbeds and well drained soil. Although they tolerate a wide range of soil types, you'll have the best success with good soil rich in organic matter.

Where flowers bloom so does hope.

I have a small garden in our yard that gives me a reason to wake up early morning to water and weed. Gardening has a calming influence. It helps me relax, unwind, smile and enjoy the moments of leisure in my busy life. It always reminds me that miracle do happen, everytime I see those tiny seeds sprouted into a beautiful plants. How can I resist looking at those radiant beauties in our garden?
