The Fern Leaf Peony is partially open.
The last ant did a great job of eating nectar.
The bloom is almost open. If a storm comes through it will be history.
So I enjoyed it while I could!
I took my Dad to Bingo, we didn't win but we had a good time!

Boy those peonies are beautiful! I have quite a few little bushes of them and am enjoying them in bowls of water right now in the house along with Irises and yarrow.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize it was a fern leaf peony. I had one on the farm and it only ever had 1 bloom and that was for many, many years! It's probably good you didn't win at Bingo...again....people might start getting suspicious! LOL!
ReplyDeleteOur peonies were finished blooming about the time that yours started blooming. Love seeing your photos. Glad you and your dad had fun.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't win at Bingo, but just being with your dad is worth a lot! Love the peony. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the color of the peony! It's too bad you didn't win, but I agree with DJan, being able to spend time with your dad is wonderful. My dad passed away 15 years ago and I would love another day with him.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color on that peony! I always think of my maternal grandmother when I see peonies because she had a whole row of light pink ones across the front of her lawn along the sidewalk. They were so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe winning isn't everything , the good time helps. With Father's Day coming up, I wish I had my dad back. He was a good man and loved me unconditionally.
ReplyDeletePlease inhale a big whiff for me!
ReplyDeleteLove that color, hoping for no storms so you can enjoy it for at least one more day. Next week maybe one of you will win at bingo!
ReplyDeleteI hope the storm misses you and you get to see it in full bloom!
ReplyDeleteI love your colorful flowers.
ReplyDeleteThat peony is beautiful. As you already know, winning is only part of the fun. The rest is the great company. I'm glad you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I've lived on this place for 20 years and this is the first year my peonies have bloomed. I moved them to a sunny spot 2 years ago and it seemed to finally work. The ants sure do work hard getting them to open up!
ReplyDeleteThe first time our peony bloomed (not fancy type like yours) and we saw all of the ants, we sprayed them and of course the flower died. Never did that again
ReplyDeleteAfter 12years of marriage, me and my husband has been into one quarrel or the other until he finally left me and moved to California to be with another woman. I felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. i tried to be strong just for the kids but i could not control the pains that torments my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because i was really in love with my husband. Every day and night i think of him and always wish he could come back to me, I was really worried and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Robinson.buckler can help get ex back fast. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a Love spell for me. 11hours later, my husband really called me and told me that he miss me and the kids so much, So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and the kids. Then from that day,our Marriage was now stronger than how it were before, All thanks to Robinson.buckler. he is so powerful and i decided to share my story on the internet that Robinson.buckler is real spell caster who i will always pray to live long to help his children in the time of trouble, if you are here and you need your ex lover back or save your marriage fast.
