More Irises are opening. This yellow one is one of my favourites.
The old Mock Orange bush is as lovely as it is every June.
I brought some little blooming branches in but they wilted so quickly.
The white Peony is always the first one to open. I brought in a few of the flowers to enjoy as I work in the kitchen. The scent is wonderful. I love how each white flower has a dot or two of red inside.
Here you can clearly see those dots of red. Makes me wonder if all Peonies used to be red and although breeders were able to develop other colours the white ones retain a small touch of the original colour.
Thanks for popping by. I promise I'll find something besides flowers to post about next time. It's just that not much is happening except in the garden!!

My favorite is the pink and purple iris though all are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYour Iris are so beautiful. We are too shady here to have much success with Iris or Peonies.
ReplyDeleteI love your flower photos!
ReplyDeleteWonderful flowers! I love Iris in all colours! I love Peony also in white or red or rose!
ReplyDeleteHere in the Bavarian Forest they flourish now,too! The world still is in the right timing!
Just love your flowers.....I can smell those peonies from here!!! all your pictures are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely irises! Don't you want to send me a piece of the 2nd one? The peonies remind me of the tissue flowers we used to make!

Don't apologize about your flower posts. Hey, I like flowers! They don't whine, they don't argue, they don't throw tantrums. The just sit there looking pretty. And some of them even smell pretty. Can't beat that. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, look at all those gorgeous flowers! I could get lost right in the middle of them, and love every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteYour iris flowers are so beautiful. They remind me very much of my mother as she used to have several different ones growing in her garden. I really don't know why I haven't yet invested in some for this new garden. Mxx
ReplyDeleteYour Iris are such delicate colours. I'm waiting for my Peony to flower, it has buds.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful blooms! Made me smile big this morning seeing that beauty. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness...you are surrounded with beauty. That yellow iris is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYes, my mom wondered that, too. She said old peonies were red.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers! I love the fragrance of the Mock Orange.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers. I especially love the peonies. White peonies are so elegant.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

They're all so pretty! Peonies are so gorgeous. Lilacs are in full bloom here. Kind of late, I think. :)
ReplyDeleteoh so beautiful!!! PLEASE share all your garden photos, they are so beautiful and encouraging! I love them!!! Iris are a long time love, peonies are so beautiful, everything really... share more please! :)
ReplyDeleteYour flowers all look beautiful. As far as I'm concerned you can keep on sharing them here.
ReplyDeleteI had iris and peonies in my former garden. None here, however, so it was so nice that you shared yours.
Love seeing your flowers! Especially the iris. Keep thinking I should get some but don't know where I'd put them.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite the color of yellow the iris wears! I used to have a yellow iris but it wasn't much like yours.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are so beautiful! My flowers are blooming too except for the peonies, clematis and rhododendrons which have had their turn. I am hoping my Rhodies have another or two of blooms in them. This past season was too short to enjoy them. How do you keep the ants off your poppies? They crawl all over my blooms so I can't bring them in.
