I love this time of year. Being surrounded by things in bloom makes me so happy. Sometimes I think I may have missed my calling as a owner of a garden center. I would love to work in a greenhouse all day!
.
My peonies did really well this year. I had so many huge blooms and my house has been full of peony bouquets for the last week.
.
.
To say I'm obsessed with my peonies may be putting it mildly.

.
My Siberian Iris plants were also in bloom this week.
.
.
.
And these pansies are growing in a pot on my porch.

These purple petunias are part of a hanging basket on my porch. I didn't realize how many purple flowers I had until I started looking through these pictures.
.
.
I'm really enjoying the view from my front porch right now.

Soon my hydrangeas and roses will be blooming. I can't wait!
It is such a joy visiting your gorgeous blog! Your pictures are always so breathtakingly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me to go and plant some flowers too!
Best wishes for a lovely weekend,
Natasha.
Those flowers make my heart happy. I just love blooming flowers and peonies are my fave. gorgeous garden.
ReplyDeleteI love the view from your front porch, too. What gorgeous landscaping. I am a little obsessed with manicured yards. Your flower photos are great. I can only have pansies in cooler weather. Too late for them here. I am having a giveaway if you want to join.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous flowers and pictures. I love this time of year- starting with the tulips then lilac right through to peonies and hydrangea.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, beautiful photos.

looks so fantastic! love the view from your front porch as well. what are those green hooky things that are helping your flowers stand? i like that you have them hooked in small amounts. are they in the ground or just attached at the stems?.i am having issues with my flowers all leaning towards the sun, and therefore out of their flower beds, and they look ridiculous! i tried that green velco tape, but no. it will not cut it visually for me. i like your idea best! do tell!
ReplyDeleteAlissa, your flowers and pictures are beautiful as always! A green thumb is something I either wasn't blessed with or haven't fully explored. One of these days I think I'll pick up gardening.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, it all looks GORGEOUS! (jealous)
ReplyDeleteOh geez those are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing.
Everything looks gorgeous Alissa! Your view from the front porch couldn't be better. I love the color of your peonies. I cut some of my peonies and brought them inside only to have ants EVERYWHERE!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers :) a little paradise.
ReplyDeleteI love your flowers Alissa. Looks like a little colourful paradise at your place!
ReplyDeleteThose vibrant pinks and purples look gorgeous and I like the last one which shows us more of your garden.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are beautiful and from the looks of your porch, I like your house too. Must add Siberian Iris to my wish list.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to do is to watch my mom weed her garden... yes i said watch i don't like to do it myself but just to be with my mom and talk to her while she gardening makes me happy every time so i see why your obsessed with yours. LOVE IT and LOVE the pictures.
