I love them too. I would like a skirt shaped like one.

I’m a lazy gardener, but I’m married to someone who really enjoys it. I’m hoping it will catch on.

The desert brown is tough. I remember seeing that for the first time during a dry summer in San Diego coming from lush Florida.

I hope you can plant those peonies soon.

Very well written. Sadly the only thing tha tblooms with any regularity here in the desert are the roses……and they do have those thorns…..

I miss peonies. There is nothing that speaks more so softly of summer. I’ve seen some here. Mostly pitiful specimens. A necessary early planting after your move! (Way more necessary than the small garden.)

Peonies are some of my favorite flowers. I have two big bushes and the blooms each year get better and better. I look forward to seeing pictures of your garden.

Well said. They are feathery soft and lovely as long as you remember to shake off those ants. I haven’t seen them around much lately. Too many folks are planting annuals.
