Maybe nothing special for you experienced gardeners, but I'm so excited about my first-ever peony blossoms.
My mom used to pick me a peony bouquet every June and I grew up thinking of them as my special flowers. This is the first year I’ve been able to continue on with my mom’s tradition.
For years I was convinced that I had too much shade for peonies and that I was not a good-enough gardener to nurture them. Well, I've proven myself wrong. I wonder what other misconceptions I’ve held over the years.
So to all my June birthday friends, I say, just go for it. Do it. Whatever it is you’ve been afraid to try. Don’t listen to the nay-sayers. The world needs more peony-dreamers. Yes?

Peonies are special to me to. My Oma introduced me to gardening and had these big poofy peonies in her yard that smelled heavenly. I've planted shone in my new yard now too.
