I could share a lot more photos from the yard this week, but here are three of my favorites. We’ve spent a long time in the yard this week, getting ready for summer. We got home just in time to enjoy the gorgeous blossoms on our peony tree.
These pretty dahlia came from our favorite nursery on the North Shore. Tracy gave me a generous gift for Mother’s Day so I was able to purchase several plants and a few pots as well. The cool container came from a store in the Adirondacks last summer.
Last, but not least, a close-up view of the double petunias in a hanging basket on our patio that I purchased as we were walking out of the Rochester Public Market early Saturday morning. Later I’ll try to post a photo of the whole basket which includes some other flowers. Love this purple colors.
Hoping the weather soon improves so we can spent more time on the patio. It’s been pretty cool, and frequently rainy this month. Joining in with Mary-Lou at Patio Postcards for her Take Three Thursday meme.
Thanks Karen for joining in today. Not sure why it’s not showing that my post was up earlier in the day – oh technology.
Your tree peony is beautiful – mine are still tight buds. I like those dahlias, such good summer colour for weeks & I have if not the same similar purple petunias; great minds!
All my peonies (not trees) have come up blind this year. It’s very disappointing, but I’ll enjoy looking at yours instead! This weekend is also the traditional time for us to plant out. I got some bedding plants today and will do my tubs tomorrow. Hooray!
Oh, I haven’t seen peony trees in our area. Your tree has beautiful blossoms. My peonies will be done by mid-week as it’s going to be over 80 and they are either fully out now or the ants are in the process of opening their buds. Whenever I look around our area, the old Camelot song, “If Ever I Would Leave You” pops up in my ear and that is my mantra for spring travel.
Lovely flowers and the peonies are particularly good. It would have been a shame to have missed them.
