As we near the end of glorious peony season, here is a photo of our peony bushes back at Mockingbird Hill Cottage. They are older bushes, planted near the road by a past owner of the cottage. I was thrilled when I discovered them the first time we saw our house. I wish I was there to gather them, put them in vases throughout the cottage and breathe in their wonderful scent. Now you see why I have been buying so many of them here in San Diego. I miss my sweet peony bushes.
Thanks to my husband for taking these photos and emailing them to me. He knows how much I miss gardening and sends me photo updates.

Wow, Claudia, those are gorgeous. I have a friend who has peony bushes but she complains that the flowers are too big and just lay on the ground; so therefore I’ve never looked into planting any. After seeing yours in bloom, that may be my next nursery purchase!… Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage
Claudia, It’s such a shame they don’t last longer and with all the rain mine look sadder than they should.
I just bought a new peony called Carol..just gorgeous and it’s neat and mounding in shape.
They are amazing on the bushes!! No wonder you adore them so.
Have a wonderful Monday.
