Last week, our tree peonies started to bloom. They drew many visitors into the garden and no wonder! For a short time, these flowers are really spectacular!

This is our pink peony, and below is the magenta one.

We also have a striped variety, and our latest addition is yellow. It flowered for the first time this year.

The peonies may steal the show for a little while, but there are also tulips…

… and the crab apple tree was gorgeous, too.

Bees
Finally, I can report that we have bees again. Barbara and Sara picked them up in the Carleton Bears Community Gardena few weeks ago right before a cold snap. Our bees got through this rough weather fine and are out and about. We could see them busily collecting nectar from crab apple blossoms and pollen from the peonies.

Please come and visit us!
The garden is now open every day when the weather is fair from about 9 a.m. until it gets dark. If you visit, please stay on the main path and leave everything the way you found it.
