The weather's been "funny" here in Philly. Oddly hot in March, then really cool and wet this whole week, until 80 degrees today. So, I'll share my first peonies of the season, but I think they are a bit confused...
This is what they looked like before Mother's Day
and this is what they look like today, May 14th.
So they lasted pretty long this year,
even through Mother Nature's fickleness!
Oh, and see those buds in the background, round two... oh yea!!!

I didn't know that you live near Philadelphia! I live in Lancaster County, just about 1 1/2 hours away. I love to go into Philly! And we are the biggest Philly sports fans. We often go to the Phillies and Eagles games! GO PHILLY!
ReplyDeleteNow about your wonderful peonies! They are one of my very favorite flowers. And yours look like huge pink saucers. So very very very beautiful. And for 2 sticks, they have done wonderfully!
To answer your vinegar question- this does work with any herbs, as far as I know.
Just a hint- if you use garlic, thread it on a small skewer or toothpick- it's just easier that way.
