The last weekend of May 2026 !

It's been said many times before ... but where do the days, weeks and months go? They seem to fly by and now here we are it's the last weekend of May 2026. Whatever your plans are I do wish you peace and happiness this weekend.

I'm sharing these beautiful peony blooms, I hope you like them. Peonies are often described as aristocratic plants and only have a brief but keenly anticipated flowering in late spring to early summer. They are bowl-shaped, white, cream, pink, yellow or red flowers which look so beautiful and are often spicily scented.

All the best Jan

My mother used to have peonies just like these in our yard. I can't recall what happened to the plants.

Peonies are so very beautiful. I only have one. It's a white one and it is blooming right now.

Being spicily scented I wonder if peonies are related to carnations which is where cloves come from I think.

River said...

Well I just googled and no they do not. Cloves come from the Indonesian evergreen native Syzygium Aromaticum tree.

I did not realize peonies came in that beautiful color.

Those peonies are gorgeous Jan. I know. I can't believe tomorrow it is JUne. I hope you are having a wonderful end of May and also have a nice start to June too.

Whenever I see peonies I'm reminded of the time over 20 years ago when we were moving into a house in a town where a good friend lived. We were coming from Alaska and the friend had looked at the house for us, so we bought it sight unseen. She had the keys when we got to town and she'd put a gorgeous arrangement of big blooming peonies on the built-in bookshelves so they were the first things we saw when we walked into the house. I can still see them in my mind. I think peonies will always be associated with that memory for me :-) I hope June begins in a wonderful way for you, Jan, and goes on that way throughout the month and beyond :-)

We are celebrating King's Birthday weekend so a long weekend here. Peonies are rather lovely aren't they, I always think of them as being blousey.

Trying not to think about how it is already nearly the middle of the year and the days will be shortening again, just as I am starting to love the early dawn! I only have one peony in my garden but they are lovely flowers.

Jo said...

The time is flying by. Beautiful peonies, I'm still waiting for mine to bloom, there's buds but no flowers as yet.

Tom said...

...it is indeed peony time here. Jan, enjoy your weekend.

Peonies must not grow well in my area because I never see them. They are gorgeous. I'll have to check that out. Maybe I could be the first to try?

This year is so odd. It doesn't feel like the end of May to me, either. LOVE those peonies!
