Flowers provide such joy to me and I cannot believe how long I waited to pluck more of them and bring them inside to where I can enjoy them everyday. I would pick some but never the lone beauty stuck out of sight where I would have to make an effort to go find it! Like the shy little dancer in the back row these need to be brought out into the limelight to shine, my new philosophy!
Cool spring equals slow moving flowers but I did have two peony blooms against the house make it to bloom this week. The pure white is reflective of the snow which fell this last weekend in the higher elevations of the Rockies. If that sends chills, just imagine Sissinghurst’s White Border, a favourite of Vita Sackville-West’s!
