The Last of the Peonies...

Hello,


I took some shots of the last of the peonies the other day...



The beautiful and fragrant peonies in my garden are fading. Peonies are by far one of my very favorite flowers. I tried hanging them to dry one year. They didn't really make the best dried flower, but the textures and sepia tones were pretty for a little bit anyway. 




(The newspaper was found in the wall of the Carriage House when my husband was tearing down a wall. It is The Evening Wisconsin, dated May 11, 1910. I guess it was used as insulation.)




I would like to start a new garden with a collection of antique peonies...different colors, fragrances, and blooming schedule.
