They started out on my Zephirine Drouhin rose bush.
But look beautiful in a little glass holder, with the sun streaming through the blinds...Did I mention they smell heavenly? They have that classic, damask rose smell.
This is one of my peonies. I don't know the name of it, but it smells like my roses above! The flowers on this peony get enormous! I can't quite capture the color, it is darker and richer than it shows here.
I love this time of year, in the garden.
Song of Solomon 2:12 -
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land

Oh, I remember how amazing these flowers are. They are just the best!
What a lovely photo of it in the glass holder.

Your flowers are beautiful! It's making me want to plant a garden!
Did you see Aunt Ginna's roses while you were there? Oh my goodness, her one bush has sooo many roses on it now! I don't think i've seen so many roses on one bush!

Gorgeous! I need to try growing peonies again. I had one and it disappeared a few years ago!
