Summer Delights

in #steemit8 years ago

Greetings all! I have busy trying to get my garden planted, running a couple of weeks behind. Our flowers have been doing very well this year. We have several varieties of Peonies that flower at different times. Wish they would last longer, Something about Peonies in bloom that bring back memories of my youth.

Now what goes good with Peonies?

This pink rose is Martha Washington from Jacson & Perkins.

I have been trying out a new high definition lens and thus far I am pleased with the results.

Petunias got a late start but are coming along nicely.

I have more gardening pictures coming. Both in the ground and containers. I wanted to post these flower photos separately. I have more roses that are beginning to open. So more of those coming.

Have a great weekend everyone. I plan on spending it finishing up planting and laying soaker-hoses on my asparagus bed and fruit trees.

For such garden plants you need to invest a lot of time and patience. This beautiful view is the outcome of your great effort.

Thank you very much! The effort is worth it eh?

Absoluelty, my grandmother had a smaller garden and when I was younger I " helped out" on vacation. so if you put some work in you have a nice view to enjoy. At the moment I struggle with a big home plant, because for no particular reason leaves fall off.

Thanks. Keep trying on the house plants.

Peonies are in my top 3 favourite flowers! They are effortlessly chic. Yours are really beautiful. Nice garden, well done!

Thank you!

What a wonderful combination of shapes and colors @r2cornell. Beautiful. When I still lived in The Netherlands I had also peonies in my garden but now that I live in Brazil not any longer. The climate is too hot.

Thank you. Glad they are early in the year before we are hit with the heat and dry air.

Flowers are poems that write the earth to heaven.
