The Duchess has arrived – The Peony

A DELIGHTSOME LIFE WHITE PEONY

My garden is holding court.

To me, the roses are the queens and princesses, the Iris are the Ladies in Waiting and 

The Peonies are the Duchesses.

We’re expecting potentially severe weather today and tomorrow, I know this can adversely affect my dear flowers.

So I picked a few to make arrangements.

A DELIGHTSOME LIFE PICKED SPRING FLOWERS

 

Right now, the yellow Iris is predominant, but I was surprised to find a peach colored one I’d never seen before…we have many that were passalongs and I may be surprised with more colors in time to come.

I arranged the intoxicatingly fragrant, multi-petalled rose with the sweet Pretty Lady.

The Iris are nestled with the bunnies by the windowseat.

I do love a soft rain. In the meanwhile, I will enjoy my fragrant flowers, saved from the rain, indoors.
