More irises & peonies

Now a pic overflow with my favourite perennials. Yesterday I still took some rainy day pics, pics of irises, too. My first blog post about iris flowers here.

A rainy day can be an inspirational and a lovely day to take pics!

And today peonies again… peonies on a sunny day. My first post about peony flowers here (the rainy yesterday it was).

One way to enjoy the scent is to take pics of the flowers… 😉

A bounty of peonies on a rainy day

Today is a warm and rainy day. It’s really nice to have some rain, because it’s been so dry for the garden for so many days now. And we don’t have to use tap water now, have to be grateful.

So, today, finally some big peony flowers, too, in Owlnature. 🙂

Great delights in the garden, the peonies… Lush…

Still some buds, too.

Peony is one of the most charming flowers in a cottage garden or in a traditional garden… like in our garden.

Come out, come out…

More pics of peony flowers later, hopefully. My favourite perennial! That’s why I had the inspiration to have a go now on a rainy day, too. 🙂

Wisdom… hope… as you please, but be brave, like an iris flower

This day is for iris flowers in Owlnature. 🙂 Irises in our garden are Siberian irises.

A few flowers today (+my “pic page” usernames)

I took a little tour with my camera in our garden today, for the newly opened up flowers for this summer. Today is actually a surprisingly warm day.

The Park lilacs or Hungarian lilacs actually have been flowering already for a while now. Our park lilacs don’t have so many flowers this year – last year they were loaded…

Purple-flowering raspberry is, too, planted by the previous owners of this house. I like it! 🙂

Iris. We have these in two different spots in the garden. The other ones were planted by the previous owners of this house, the other bunch by us – we brought them from eastern Finland last summer, my boyfriend’s mother gave them to us. This flower is of that bunch. I love irises, more pics of them later, hopefully. 🙂 Only two flowers have opened up so far, but there’s so many buds.

Daisy. Daisies are already a bit wild in our garden. – Some of them here, some of them there. One here, one there.

Aaand, I love the “pic pages” or apps… Here’s my favourites, and where Owlnature is… I am… so, my usernames: Instagram: owlnatureleena (I’ve used Instagram before, but at this very moment Owlnature doesn’t have any pics there yet, as I just created the account.) Pinterest: owlnature (The same story as with Instagram.) We Heart It: owlnature (This account I started using already in winter.) Yees, maybe I have the real widgets, too, in the sidebar of my blog some day… 🙂
