This 1st is a peony bloom from a few weeks ago - a plant my Mum subdivided from an old one at the house where I grew up, north of London. It then lived at Mum's next home nearby for some years. Then it came here to such a different climate about 3 years ago. It just survived 2 very hard winters, & after this last milder one has given us a first flower since its arrival, which felt even more epic when Mum told me it was possibly planted by my great-grandmother ! Praise to the tenacity of this beautiful plant which has felt able to flower again at last ...
The other is a poppy - we have not had success with these either til this year - & I feel that this is the first year that we really have a proper garden, & the Spirits of the place have settled after all the changes after we moved here. Thank you to all who have helped us reach this point, both human friends & Spirit helpers...
I think this poppy's shapes & colours are so fabulous at every stage of its growth :-)
