PEONIES AND ROSES.....




The higher temperatures of the last few days here in England, have happily encouraged the Peonies and Roses in the garden to bloom.  Bursts of colour....in shades of pink....from soft and pale through to deep fuschia.  Their delicate scent filling the air.......making working in the garden even more of a pleasure.



June has to be one of my favourite months in the garden.  Everything is so fresh and new and full of optimism .....the herb and vegetable gardens are in full swing, shrubs, plants and trees are bursting.....but it is the Peonies and Roses that bring me the most pleasure.







To appreciate them to the maximum, I love to cut them for arranging. Their beautiful scent filling the air, and enjoyed 
inside the house as well....
