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??

Peonies! I had a vase in the kitchen, in the bathroom, our bedroom, and at the office. Their tumbling heads are divine. We’re only in our second year at our house so I’m also working on incorporating perennials so it will be awhile before we have more. Happily the peonies were planted by the previous owner.
