Peonies

These gorgeous flowers do not bloom in Texas, at least not in my part of Texas.
We are doing good to grow grass right now, with temperatures near 100 every day and no rain in sight.

I had to have some flowers for my window sill so I purchased some of those awful purple daisies at the grocery store. I much prefer their natural color, but I was desperate.  Would love to have a little patch of cutting flowers in the yard; I guess I'm dreaming. By the way, these beautiful peonies were plentiful in Indiana a few weeks back.
