More Spring rains…
A quick garden view…
Peonies bent low in their garden beds…
The daisies underfoot are egigeron…the “Santa Barbara Daisy” …
easy growers that find their own way through the garden borders.
The blooms are so heavy with rain that I’ve
decided to clip a dozen or so peonies to bring inside…
Kansas, Sarah Bernhardt, and Vivid Rose blooms…
Have water in the bucket before I clip…
anything to extend the blooms!
Will re-cut the stems underwater once inside…
Keep them in a cool place…out of the sun…
In the twenty years since I’ve designed and planted and tended
this garden…this is the latest that the peonies have bloomed!
A very, very cool, wet, and late Spring!
