One of the best times of the year is right now. Flowers are just blooming, the grass is green and everything is fresh and new. It took me six years of planting to create this vase of flowers. Red tree peonies, pink peonies, golden trollius, purple bee balm and a variety of irises make up this summer bouquet.
Usually I just let my flowers bloom outside and look at them every now and again. But, I am realizing that I enjoy them a lot more on the counter where I wash dishes, cook and spend a lot of my day. These flowers remind me of all that time on my hands and knees, planting tiny starter plants. The reward is worth it.
By the way, I love the iris towards the back left. The peach and purple remind me of a sunset.
