Flowers are Magical

Before I left NJ to head down to MD, I took a quick tour through the garden to see what was blooming.


Heavy rains beat down the peonies, but then a few hot, sunny days produced blooms in profusion, entangled in the roses.


A few are still standing upright,


and a few are blooming next to one of my favorite roses (and my least favorite weeds).


There is a single pink rose that I resisted cutting, but instead left it for others to enjoy, or maybe for the deer to eat.


Some roses and buds did get cut and brought indoors. There will probably be a shower of fallen petals waiting for me when I return, but even short-lived enjoyment is better than none.


My fuchsia continues to bloom and enchant.


And there are even intriguing  flowers-to-be. Marvelous, miraculous, and magical!

    So beautiful, Bonny! Peonies are my all-time favorite ... we enjoyed a few days of them back in April ;-)

    Such beautiful flowers! That single pink rose is really something. I hope someone else can admire it before the deer get to it!

    Magical indeed. I love your idea that short-lived enjoyment is better than none. Your roses are gorgeous. The blooms on my rose bush never seem to last more than a day or two at the most.

    SO magical!!!! (And those are my least favorite weeds, too.) (And everywhere in my garden...) I love the peonies-among-the-roses. Such a great contrast and so very lovely. XO

    Gorgeous! We're still waiting on the peonies to bloom here. I was going to plant two rose bushes this spring...do you think it's too late?

    My heart leaped when I saw the fuchsias! They are always so graceful and beautiful and that colorway is my favorite. A friend brought me a bouquet of roses from her garden and they still look great 4 days later. It's such a treat to have the pretty pink blossoms on my table. Flowers ARE magical and they're the best eye candy.

    oh your photos are just lovely. I cannot get enough of all our blog pals photos. We waiting through such a long winter for this! My peonies are heads, but not opening yet! My clematis are blooming though and a tree has white flowers this year .. IT is an ornamental of some sort. I have wrens raising babies and chickadees raising babies too!

    Oh my goodness, That fuchsia is swoon worthy as are the rest of these flowers. I hope Maryland greets you with some flowers also.
