Flowers in the Shadows #ShadowshotSunday

Today, some early evening (around 7:20 pm) pictures of flowers currently blooming in my front yard.

Itoh peony.  The first one we bought died (we thought) and we bought another one. But the following year, we realized it had come back. Now we have three of them, all the same color (leaving me wondering how we ended up with a third one, because we had only bought two).  Here's one of them.

I've had these bearded irises for years and the variety is unknown.  They have a nice grape-like scent.

  1. Lovely flowers. I've tried growing paeonies, but I think they don't like our clay soil.

  4. What a lovely surprise—sometimes gardens have a quiet magic of their own, gifting us beauty we didn’t quite expect or plan for.

  6. Oh my. Did one of them procreate? That would make sense.

  7. thecontemplativecat here. So lovely. the iris propagate so well. Their root system is amazing. In May, they were always stunning in Mrs. Field's yard, near our school.

  8. I think Peonies like to do disappearing acts now & again. Yours are lovely!
