Just beautiful pictures and plants - so inspiring!

Loretta, there is nothing boring about your pictures. You have things I don\'t have! Clematis, iris..am I the only person in the world who doesn\'t have iris?

Wee. Cornelia Shaylor is one of the first peonies I acquired. You have to support it, but it\'s just gorgeous and has a wonderful scent. I got my first one from a Canadian company, and had to go to Canada (the alternative was France) to get two for my new home.

Here is a closeup of a Festiva Maxima flower that fully opened today. Even in bright sunlight, it is hanging onto that combination of white, yellow and the red flecks I just love.
