P for pairs
P for Peony... last year's crop. I've given myself license to use my photos again because it'll probably be until June when we see peonies in Minnesota this year.
Is there anything more delicious than the subtle scent of a peony in full bloom? They spell Memorial Day for me, taking huge bouquets in large tin cans to the cemetary to leave at family plots. My job was to hold them so they wouldn't spill in the car. So much better to hide my face in their soft petals and inhale.

Nice "P" Post.
Mmmmmmmm, Peonies. Mercy. Surely heaven sent....scent.... :^)
Hi fellow Blue lover!
That pair of Canadian geese had me smiling & the flower collection is lovely.
A thought - with all the weekly meme's around - why don't, we two co-host a 'Blue' meme, on maybe Thursday???

Nice P-post! Love the pair:)
Have fun:)
My peonies are just starting to pop up through the ground. Love your P's.
Love the pair of Geese, I post some not too long ago. And your Peony is so big and beautiful. WOW!

Pair and peony! Perfect!
Your Pairs are great, and I love the Peonies. My Gran grew deep red peonies when I was a child, and I always think of her when I see them.
Great collection of "P" posts.
Well done.
Come visit,

Original take for today. I, too, love peonies! All colours! I can hardly wait for my across-the-street neighbour's to bloom! I see he has them all tied up and there are buds on them already.
I love peonies but have yet to plant any!
This is my ABC.
as well as this.
What beautiful peonies! They're such extravagant flowers.
Excellent choices for the letter P. I hadn't thought of pairs. Nice photos too.
Very good choices for the P. I don't grow peonies, but they are very popular to be taken to the cemetery here, too.
Oh, peonies! I have a secret affection for these old-fashioned flowers. They always remind me of my grandmother and freshly-baked lemon cakes.
Nice. Love the geese. Got some wonderful goslings photos yesterday of our Canadians. They are such doting parents.
Good ideas for "p"! I had trouble thinking of anything this week! "Q" is going to be even harder! LOL!
Great photos, and your peonies are absolutely gorgeous! I love that deep pink color. Mine are just about ready to bloom, and I can't wait -- I love these flowers.
yep, a pair is perfect, peonies are particularly pleasant and peacock blue posts are a pleasure too.
Thanks for sharing!
What an eclectic mic of P's. All superb choices of course.
I am so eager for my peonies to begin to show more life. I agree about Memorial Day.
So sorry for being late to visit you, I am playing catch up after a few days out on the motorbike.
Peonies are one of my favourite flowers, for the wonderful perfume which brings sunshine to any room.
