Our front (north facing) cottage garden is overrun with bachelor buttons at the moment. The last tulip there is fading, the irises opened this morning and some cool alliums are in full bloom.Iris along the east facing wall started blooming Monday, almost a full week after the iris along the south facing wall started blooming. Our first peony opened along the south facing wall yesterday (May 7). In the north cottage garden, no peonies will bloom this year, but nine (yes NINE) peony plants are up.*
*I purchased bare root peonies several times last year, along with transplanting fragments of an unhappy plant, all with no apparent success. So I planted more. It turns out the smart plants were just waiting for it not to be last year.

I have peony envy! Apparently it is not possible to grow them well here, so of course I wish I could plant them more than usual. I bought a few blossoms at the local florist last week and was told they were grown in a town about an hour north in the hills. It was nice to have them in the house for a week, it least. Hope yours are treated well by the weather this year.
