Congrats to everyone!

Love the peonies. Don't think I've ever seen a yellow one!

I never saw a yellow until this spring. It was the only one they had and no blooms but had to try it. Glad I did.

These are wonderful pictures! Thank you SO MUCH for all of them.

The flowers are just magnificent, and your grand-niece is exquisite. I especially love the shot of her from the top of her head. What a beautiful photo. Her skin is incredibly soft looking, even in a picture.

The princess was also looking fabulous!

Thank you for all of these!

Beautiful flower shots!

Congratulations on the new addition to the family.

The poppy buds are lovely, and I can see why your first peony got you started with them. They last such a short time, but are so beautiful. I have never seen anything like that "first peony" and I am impressed.

Your patriotic display is gorgeous too. I have tried to find blue petunias that don't look too purple, and I never can get the right color to go with red and white. That looks perfect.

And congratulations on your June bug. Those photos are so nice, I am sure that the parents will treasure them.

purple but it works when you throw them in with the red & white so I would suggest you go for it if you want all petunias. My mom got these when she saw them as she knew I needed milk can flowers. If you don't mind a mix of flowers you could use blue lobelia for the blue. The whole patriotic outside decor started with a barn star and expanded with a take back the flag from the right-wing, conservative machine. You would never believe how irked a rwnj can get over a liberal claiming the flag and I have fun tweaking the nut jobs around here.

I agree that the flag and patriotism is as much a Democratic thing as a rwnj thing. Actually, I do use white and red petunias with the blue lobelia.....but your blue is so pretty and the blue flowers are so much smaller.

Whenever I hear that liberals are anti-America, I think that the right wing are the ones who have it wrong....not that you can tell them.

beautiful family, LUCKY GREAT Grandma, chatting up Lacee!

Peonies are finished, here in southern Maryland, haven't seen poppies around but corn's up!

MY June-Bug, daughter Julie (birthday June 27, tho due July 4!) baby shower yesterday, so baby NEXT month!

it has been a while since we had a newborn in the family locally and even longer since a girl was close by. I still have buds on the peonies so I'll have a few more yet. My yard seems to be a couple weeks behind even my neighbors yards.
