I have decided to join the blogging craze. I am looking forward to taking a moment to find out a little more about the plants I have been photographing. I hope to explore all aspects of plants, flowers, trees and other garden related topics. Sorry about having to watermark the photos but there are a lot of people using them without permission.

Miss Mary Garden Peony
Garden Peony
Paeonia lactiflora ‘Miss Mary’
(pay-OHN-ee-uh) (lak-tee-FLOR-uh)
This peony was introduced by William H. Krekler in 1967. It is a really nice red single flowered type. These pictures were taken in my friend’s garden and I guess I had never visited when this peony was blooming. He has been dividing it and keeps planting the divisions down the side of a long stonewall. There were a lot of flowers in the patch last week and it gave an overall very nice effect.
If you like Daffodils this site may be of interest:
First Daffodils
There is a lot of beautiful photography over there. The landscapes that the Daffs are growing in are better than the flowers in some instances.

Oh wow they are so pretty. I am going to have to get a catalog of peonies and order some more now. I just wish they lasted longer here in Texas. Great pictures
