For this week’s challenge, share a photo that shows what spring means to you. It can be a flower in bloom (or a field of them!), a May Day celebration, or your dog luxuriating in the grass after a long winter indoors. Maybe it’s a shot you took on a spring break trip, or your family wearing Easter finery.
As the sun goes down over the western fields, the elegant tree peonies oversee all:

They do have big gorgeous blooms several of which were knocked off in all that rain we just had. Gave me a good excuse to bring some inside.

I really need to get some tree peonies. So several giant blossoms on garden week tours that had me drooling.

I feel the same about getting a few more in different colors! Mine is very hardy with a direct western exposure and I don’t pamper it all.
