The Red Peony

This is the most flowers I have had on this deep red peony, which is one of my favorites. I like the old fashioned whites with the red in the center because of their fragrance, but this deep color remains a pleaser.

Notice the thistles are gone surrounding the flowers? I pulled four lawn bags of thigh high thistles out of the flower beds yesterday and then the rain came.

At first I thought it would be the routine spotty shower, but no. It was the steady and heavy rain. Everything is sopping wet today so I am reading and quilting instead of pulling even more weeds.
