I've spent the last few weeks frantically transplanting everything I could from the old house about to be sold to the new house until I ran out of space. Very little of it will bloom this year, due to the shock, but I can steal views of the neighbors' flowers from the kitchen window, and the porch.
Some of the plants I've moved include yellow iris, but of a different shade than these. If you look hard, you can see the red roses, too. I have no roses, but this appears to be a very good neighborhood for them, so I expect to be getting some this fall.
The peonies at the corner of the shadow are the darkest red I've ever seen in a peony. I'm not sure which of my peonies from the old place I dug up, because they weren't blooming yet, and there are lots and lots of them, but I know none of them were anything like that. I must cultivate my neighbor and try to beg some in the future.

Wow, sounds like a lot of work, but so worth it!!!!
ReplyDeleteHang on, I should get the pictures uploaded and the words written by the end of the week. I moved a lot of flowers, but the pictures are mostly green. Think future.
ReplyDeleteLove the peonies. Mine are up, but won't bloom for quite awhile yet. So much slower here.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely be cozying up to the neighbour with the ulterior motive of scooping some of those peonies!!
