The garden is taking shape! I am so ready for Spring! I am not a fan of the thick pollen in the air as it makes breathing difficult and sticks to my contacts, but it means the trees are healthy. :)
I grew Chinese Lanterns one year. Had no idea how much of your garden they can take over. When they faded, their beautiful skeletons looked like magic lanterns to me.
Thinking about my garden and how I miss it in winter. But have some lovely memories through photography. My pin Peony plant gave me 56 blooms last year. Peonies are one of my favorite flowers. The scent alone is exquisite.
