Photos: Iris, Clematis, Peonies

Peonies

Often when I separate and transplant peonies, I wind up with snowy-white blossoms with pale pink outer petals.





Bindweed gall mites on the bindweed flowers -- somebody nearby must've applied them. Maybe my flowerbeds won't be so infested with bindweed this year!

Iris






Old-fashioned rose. My mother brought clippings from her mother's rosebush in North Dakota in the early 1960s. In 2003, I found one lonesome root at my mother's house after the house was removed, brought it home, and divided and planted it, not knowing exactly what it was. Lo and behold, it was my Grandma Winings' old-fashioned rose! The blossoms aren't as big and fancy as some of the newer rose hybrids, but the fragrance is certainly sweeter!


Clematis
