For Memorial Day I present peonies. Specifically, Festiva Maxima. Discovered at the market this past weekend. I don't always know the names of peonies. I think they are all lush, amazing, and wonderful.
A few years back Coral Charm showed up on my radar. Since then I try to remember to ask Karen the names of any that make my knees go weak.
Truth be told, Festiva Maxima would not be so spectacular on her own.
Without the others surrounding her to highlight the uniqueness of that hint of fuschia in the center at the edges of the petals.
Every star needs a supporting cast.
In addition to admiring peonies from every single possible angle, we also did some weed pulling, lawn mowing, statuary water-proofing, mulch spreading, hamburger eating, and movie watching this weekend.
But none of those pictures compared to the peonies.
Not even close. Trust me.
Gorgeous indeed!
