This time of year brings out the plant crazy in me, or it seems to kick it off for the rest of the season. Green Lotus Peony drives me to take way too many photos of it, seeking the "perfect" one. I had a photo published a few years ago in the British newspaper, the Telegraph , in their garden catalog section, front page , which was a thrill . I am sure that type of thing will never happen again so I have to savor it forever? But it still drives me to get that "just right" photo yet again ... here I go !
Bottom left corner is the original plant.

Update on the girls growing up ... Willy looks like a full grown cat in body size, and Gracie is not far behind. Time is "warping" by me some days , weeks , months ?
I couldn't fix the "red eye" problem darn it ! Willow's blue eyes are remarkably intense . Gracie's trend from gray to light blue. They are both too smart for their own good !

Ha! When "special" flower makes an appearance in my garden, I do exactly the same thing. When my Epiphyllum 'King Midas' bloomed last week I must have taken 20 photos, some in the dark when the bloom first appeared and others the next morning. then I took even more with my iPhone ;) Thank goodness for digital cameras - if I still has to depend on firm, I'd be a pauper.
Thanks for sharing the updated photos of your "girls." They look like princesses.
There is something about peony!
Hi Joy! I wanted to drop you a line to say hi. Your girls are gorgeous. A home is happiest with two cats in it, am I right? I can't imagine ours without our two sweeties. And your garden is amazing, as always. We've been working hard on ours this spring. Yesterday we planted another two trees brining our total to three! I hope you are keeping well, my friend!
Goodness, those cats are beautiful! I just adore the peony, it would happily grace any magazine or newspaper. Even the ants seem to be admiring it!xxx
Joy, I understand your love for peony, Actually it is amazing and the color is unusual.
Your cats look smart ones. Nice eyes.
Beautiful blog
Zoe popped in the cat door and came to say hello as your cats scrolled past.
Hello there Kris .. I think the same way .. if we had to depend on film I would be a lot more conservative or broke ? LOL .. Yes the girls are quite the spoiled little princesses ;-)
Hi Jenn ... I was so lucky to get it years ago, now mail order is not what it used to be at all which is sad .. but I understand the business side of it all too today's world is rather cut throat.
Hello there Martha ! .. I get a kick out of your cartoons ! I should actually comment but I admit to lurker ? mode ? LOL Yes .. once we were able to get over the worst of the loss of Sophie, I couldn't help but fall in love again with another Lynx Point .. and then her sister the Snowshoe? how could we not have two such different sisters ? YES to trees !! as many as you can squeeze in Martha !! I have tried to shoe horn as many as possible myself .. thanks very much and take care !
