Peonies and Birthday Girl roses picked today.

Absolutely gorgeous, Julia! The colours are just so pretty and uplifting!

Thank you Kate.Couldn't resist...not a lover of cutting flowers from the garden and bringing them inside...just like to see them growing naturally.

Julia, these are very pretty. Many years ago when we had moved house where the garden had a lovely Paeony, I cut some flowers, put them in a vase on the dining table and was aghast later to find the place crawling with ants! The flowers must have been full of them ... :o(

I will be on my guard Shirley!!!

Really lovely Julia and in the water droplet vase. I tried to buy a friend who's 70th it is next week Birthday Girl, but couldn't get it. Shall have to try a different one..

Oh that's a shame Janey..perhaps you could find a rose by her name?
