Barbara's Garden

Here are the captions from Barbara ... about the peonies, I think I read somewhere that they can take up to seven years to bloom the first time.

 Picture #1 - The peonies by my swing finally bloomed today -- it might not seem very impressive, but it's only their second year so I consider it lucky to have any flowers at all.  Also, with a little encouragement, the native virginia creeper has been taking over the tree to my delight.  #2 - The dogwood tree is in full bloom, this picture is from the top of the deck stairs.  #3 - Lots of lush green in the garden, soon there will be astilbe flowers.
