We still have about a month to go before Spring will finally be here, and given the weather we’ve had the last two days it might feel like a long wait! With the windchill factored in it’s currently -16 Celsius or only 3.2 F! Brrrr
Since Spring will soon be here and I’m trying my best to ignore the cold I thought I’d show you one of my favorite spring flowers. Now I think most people think of tulips when they think of Spring. I do too, but for me … Peonies are probably my favorite Spring flowers! Too bad I have to wait until late Spring -almost summer before mine will bloom!
Here’s a lovely almost white Peony called Peony Pecher:
This peony produces large double petaled blooms each June. They are just a little smaller than a bread plate oh and the smell … they have that lovely light peony scent. I just adore these flowers!
Last year I planted three new peony plants in my garden. One is in the front flower bed and two are in my planted boulevard – so if they survived the winter I’ll have 6 peony plants in total! Hopefully I’ll also have an abundance of flowers!
Do you grow Peonies?
A lovely Peony, Tricia.
Hi Tricia, many thanks for share with us. I’m no have Peony, but like this so much. Many thanks for awesome pictures.
Coming home tonight, my wife pointed out the first flower to bloom in our yard — it was the helleborus evergreen plant, with its big flower bent over and pointing down towards the ground. It greeted us as we came up the walk to our front door. Mighty refreshing and pretty~!

Your photo of the Peony Pecher flower and YOUR cultivation in teh yard are really nice. You really get a lot of happiness to see your plant flowering.
Beautiful photo of the peony pecher…and -16 Celsius! I’m new to this blog, but I had to post something because I liked the photo so much. I used to work a camera store, so I had photographers coming in all the time showing their photos. Keep shooting.
A lovely peony, many thanks for awesome pictures.
