This garden in the mountain west seems to be about 3 weeks ahead
of a normal year. I've never had peonies by the middle of June!
but---I'll take 'em!
a pretty reflection in the the mirror on the pine cabinet
My peonies usually bloom around the 4th of July or so.
Last year, I had to move several to sunnier spots in the garden
and didn't expect many blooms this year, but I was able to
pick a couple of large buckets of them to photograph.
I will share a few more photos of them in the next post along with
more of the lilacs photos I haven't gotten posted yet.
(yes, I still have more lilacs)
Everyday I get out in the garden a take photos of what's blooming,
but never seem to get a post done. I always think I will get on top of things,
and never seem to, but I may just surprise myself (and you) and get another
post done soon.
Have a wonderful week everyone!!!!!!

So, so beautiful! Do you submit your photos to magazines? Or do they come knocking on your door for submissions? Seriously, your images are definitely magazine-worthy. Always so beautiful and dreamy. There's no spot in my home, except maybe the living room, that I can photograph where there's not something piled up with stuff. Ha! Have a great rest of the weekend. Tammy
June, such a beautiful sight. My lilacs have been done for some time now. The lavender is having a good year. The summer phlox is showing signs of bloom, but I'd give that all up (except the lavender) to have peonies like yours. So pretty..Happy Weekend and thanks for sharing..Judy
Very beautiful! I like paeonies. I like how You use them in your pictures. Ansambel is very warm.
June, your peonies are so beautiful and I can't believe that you still have lilacs.How lucky is that? My have been gone for some time. Your pictures are so dreamy and beautiful. Have a lovely Sabbath day. Hugs, Jo
We'll take whatever you have time for girlfriend <3

Just wonderful, June! I suspect the peonies looked forward to summer and did not want to wait anymore ;-).
Have a wonderful week! Sending hugs, Ingrid

June how beautiful, ''peonies in June'' :D....If I may ask, where do you get your pillows from? the square ones with the ruffle? they are delishious and I need a few....did you make them or buy them?
Your home and pictures are always such a soft place in my world. thank you!
So beautiful. Peonies are one of my favorites. They are so soft and gorgeous to bring in doors. Have a great start to the new week ahead.

Your Peonies speak beauty to your homes interior like your white sofa with gorgeous layers speak relaxation to the body. A visit here makes me feel enriched in natures beauty that you lovingly nurture.

I'm going to come steal some of those peonies! Simply gorgeous ~
What a dreamy post....I think peonies are my very favorite flower. Yours are stunning! When do they normally bloom?
xo,
RJ
You must be in peony heaven! I had 2 blooms this year.... so I always devour your photos! :)
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!
Hello June, you surely must have very many peonies, to be able to pick such stunning bouquets , they are so beautiful. I wonder how you dry them June...do you let them stand in the vases, or are they hung by the stems ? I would love to try, and my first attemt was not satisfying .
I hope your summer is great !!
Warm hugs, Dorthe
So beautiful, June...the peonies must have love the new sunny spot! Pure eye candy...
I always love your photos of your beautiful flowers and especially the peonies. I need to drive by the one place I know that has a large peony bush and see if they are blooming yet. If so, I can cut a few for my house and my own photographs. However, we are still having VERY cool nights here at 7,000 ft. elevation in the high desert of Northern Arizona so I don't know if there are any blooming anywhere in town. If there are, I'm going to find them. If not, I'll look in July when it gets warmer.
Thanks for the lovely photos.

My Peonies are done, boo hoo! Isn't everything early this year. I'm lucky I have other blooms in the garden but already miss my Peonies!! Glad you are getting to enjoy yours. Wish me luck on my flowers for I will be traveling for the next 4 weeks, yikes!! I "think" I have the soaker system set up. Fingers Crossed!!! Yes, I will be coming through ID but think Northern route, another boo hoo!!! Take care sweet one and hope this posts!

Peonies are so impressive by themselves but you are so talented to give them a soul. Love this white, stylish sofa, the lace, the flowers, everything June!
Happy new week!

Your peonies look breathtakingly beautiful June! They bloom early in my garden too. I only have one or two baby pink ones, but several in bright fuchsia. Your white ones appeal to me very much as well.
Wishing you a lovely week!

Your pictures show off your peonies to perfection June! I have the same pink peonies. I took a stroll through the garden this evening and I noticed they have opened today. My favourites for sure!
It is a crazy year! We are done Peony season! And my Roses are stunning!....yes they are really early too! My fear is that they usually last till November! I hope they still do!
