….this one is from my garden
When I got home from work today it was pouring down rain. I was worried that my peony bush would be flattened if we got much more rain so when the weather let up a bit I went outside and took some pictures of the peonies that have finally opened up. There’s usually a bit more red in this plant. Maybe it will show up in another day or two.
….still not from my garden but maybe in a day or so
…..I love poppies, especially the flower…..the foliage not so much
…..now that my big Ontario White Pine is no more I have a full view of my neighbour’s Black Walnut Tree
I don’t think I’ll replace my tree with anything this large. In fact I might just put in a nice little Japanese Maple. They don’t grow to be very big and something smaller would suit that space much better.

….I wish I could say that this beautiful rose is from my garden but alas it’s not
On our walk this morning I came across numerous beautiful flowers to share with you this week. My neighbourhood is a haven of gorgeous gardens. My poor peony plant still hasn’t opened completely. In fact at the moment it is looking rather sad. Hopefully in a day or two the blooms will erupt to their full potential.
Three block over the house on the corner lot is awash in pink roses.
….Cee’s been posting peonies in full bloom but mine are still buds

On Wednesday of this week this grand old tree in my backyard is coming down. In the grand scheme of things this Ontario White Pine is not that old. When we moved into our house over 35 years ago this tree was barely as tall as me. It should have outlived me but some kind of boring insect infected the tree and it is beyond saving. When the arborist from the city came to check that we weren’t cutting down a healthy tree he said very matter of fact that the tree was dead.
…..everything is a little late and when it does bloom it is short lived
Mini Iris
Yellow Day Lilies
….I like how Cee posts a photo a day of a new flower
I don’t know if I can do this every day. This iris is from my garden. I’ve also have a peony that is about to blossom but I’m not sure I’ll have enough plant material to post daily. We’ll see. My neighbours have beautiful gardens and I’m sure they wouldn’t mind if I took photos of their gardens.
….just finished writing my report cards so I’m a little late posting this photo
Japanese Peony
The Japanese peony is considered a tree peony. Maybe I’m taking some license posting a picture of this beautiful flower on Sunday Trees but I saw it for the first time today and I just had to share it with you. I didn’t know that there were tree peonies. I’d only ever seen the herbaceous variety.
