Mine are all but finished withering. I moved in, in the winter, and have had a nice spring seeing what was already here and planting new flowers.

I even have room for a small vegetable garden and started a strawberry garden in another spot.

My succulents are teaming. And I'm adding more.

I moved here 1 1/2 years ago, these are along the path to my home, there are others at my landlord's house, and a few bushes yet to bloom, different colors.

I left behind some cool ones, too. There were only 2 bushes here but oddly they have had a mix of blooms the first ones were deep violet with yellow centers and one row of peddles. Oddest ones I've ever seen. Then in the back a few regular pink full ones. The other bush are normal pink peonies.

I sed to have them when I lived in NY. I painted a picture of them. They were in front of my front porch.

They were more magenta, but doubled like the ones you show on the right:

We fluctuate between moderate temps, 70s, to high 80s. 58 today, 77 forecast for tomorrow, and 90 for next Tuesday, and rain again end of next week.
