I think this is a peoni. I'm not sure, but, will find out soon.

This picture was taken only 3 days later. It is still opening more and more. Absolutely gorgeous!

Easter 2009

Easter is today. Beautiful day. The weather is perfect and the Easter Bunny hid eggs all over our yard. The leaves are really starting to show on all our trees

and little things are popping up out of the ground. Some things, I had forgotten I planted. My hosta are emerging and so are my asters. Its so exciting, because a lot of these things I planted last year, they died down almost immediately. Now they are coming alive again and I get a great big smile.

The bearded iris are sprouting their buds ready to show what their beautiful velvety purple petals.
