I brought home a bouquet of peony tulips, a variety I've never seen before. It's a proper marriage I think because tulips and peonies are such close companions in a blossoming spring garden.
I panned out so that you could meet my other photography assistant - my dining room mirror! She stands in when Mike isn't home to assist but let me tell you that she's not nearly as fun to 'work with.' I have to keep her clean, she only works during certain day time hours and her conversation is always quite bland.
Hubby is much more perky and requires much less maintenance.
Stunning!!!

Love the post. Yes I have never seen that variety either. Lovely. The color is so vibrant and it looks incredible against the white. My peonies will be opening soon. I can't wait. My favorite flowers, next to lilacs and roses. Oh, it's tough loving so many lovely things.

Fabulous . . . the first I have seen/heard of tihs marriage . . . smile. Your mirror companion worked just fine, maybe not as much fun though. Your posts delight me . . .
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have not seen those either! I love my peonies! We had virtually no winter this year, so I had very few blooms.

Totally agree with you. Peony Tulips are a great combination. And you and your sweet hubby are too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos (as always!)
I love peonies...in fact I have some silk ones in my bedroom ..... they make me smile. these do seem a different variety. Just lovely!! Joan
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm still waiting for my peonies to blossom. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTrina, I've grown these for several years and they are always much admired. The also last exceptionally well as a cut flower. I have had good luck with the bulbs I have purchased through http://www.bluestoneperennials.com, but their offerings change every year....and I noticed that they don't have much of a selection right now. Maybe they will get more bulbs in stock before the fall planting season.

Those are so pretty! I've never seen flowers like them before.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! Peonies were my flowers in my wedding bouquet and I love tulips. I recently did a post on some great tulips I bought at my grocery. I only wish both of these flowers lasted longer!
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love those. So Sublime!

I agree with Windlost, tulips and peony are a great combination. I do love your images though, the color is fascinating.
ReplyDeleteDo those smell as lovely as they look?
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I have not seen them here yet!
