Flowers in and out of the house and country





Peonies à la Jane.





Roses in the garden.


Naturalistic wildflower planting
in the Jardin des Tuileries this weekend.

  1. It is a shame that peonies don't hang on to their petals a bit longer. I can't believe you have roses already - love the plum coloured one, like crushed velvet, beautiful, as is the picture of the florists - wow, such a lot of choice.

  2. I share your admiration for peonies...they are so delicate, so beautiful. Thank you for these views from France...I've got some NYC peonies on view over at my place.

  3. Wow, you weren't kidding, you did copy me peonies!

    They look great on either side of the pond!

  12. How LOVELY. Our peonies have been in bloom about 2 weeks now. They are so dear to me. I love the limes in the first photo. Clever!
