As I add perennials to my flower beds, it's been fun to add more plants that will bloom throughout the summer. The lilacs kicked off the blooming season a few weeks ago, and now the peonies and mock orange bushes are taking their turn! Peonies are such a heavenly flower. I love filling our house with them and smelling their decadent fragrances as they waft in through our dining room windows. This year my bushes are staggering their blooming times a bit, which is much appreciated by me! It's nice to have the short peony season extended a bit.

How about you? What's blooming in your yard??
