Peonies and Iris are the Stars of the Garden Now

Right now under the gray skies of New England peonies and iris reign supreme in the garden ...we have had so much rain and moisture the iris fill with water and don't last as long as usual or desired...the peonies get weighted down so supports are vital. The colors are gorgeous and it is a delight to walk amongst this beauties...

Pinks, purples and yellow are the colors du jour....

The foliage is thick and green this year.

Peonies and Siberian iris mix so well....

Deep pinks peonies are delightful...


How gorgeous are these peonies...

White Siberian iris are so delicate....

These Siberian iris are a delicate pale yellow...almost like butter...

Deep purple Siberian iris are my favorite...




These purple iris are also black...can you see the furry beards?

This iris is getting ready to unfurl...the color is actually almost a deep raspberry...the photo does not do it justice...


This iris has a pale pale pink top and the under petals are a delicious lavender....this is absolutely a wonderful variety and unusual variety.


This iris is a delight...stark white upper petals and lower petals are a blue...just beautiful...

Hope your gardens are doing well and producing wonderful feasts for your eyes...
