Yesterday, our temperature soared to 36 degrees Celsius, here in Niagara....and in the course of less than 48 hours the peonies went from buds to blooms! It was so hot and the humidity stifling, that I had to cut all the blooms at the risk of losing them overnight... ....our weather is continuing to be so unpredictable and by mid June I am fearful that the garden will be spent.....everything will have finished the growing cycle for the year.... ....I was able to fill a large zinc bucket and another sap bucket full of the cut blooms.... ....three plants growing in partial shade have still to bloom, so the peony parade isn't over as yet! I was surprised, since our winter was very mild, the plants yielded bountiful bouquets..... .....Perfect for a early June wedding...... ....they look like fluffs of meringue..... ....a small delicate wisp of porcelain vine, adds just a touch of movement and interest.... .....could see this in a bridal bouquet, don't you think? ......such short li...

The blooms which I am enjoying in the garden at the moment, are primarily from the flowering shrubs and trees which predominate here, growing in the shade of the Carolinian forest surrounding us on the Niagara escarpment.... The Chinese peony,Chojwaku...is the tempermental princess in early Spring... ....she reigns over the garden for a very fleeting moment, it seems.....  ....here today, gone tomorrow, depending on the weather, humidity and rains and wind being her capricious instigation for what she will do next.... .....as soon as the roseum elegans rhododendrons, which border the woodland gardens appear, she disappears.... ....at about the same time the Pink Cloud kolkwitzia tree and the white flowering deutzia shrubs bloom for a substantially longer period of time, adding to the soft, lavender and pink and white colour palette.... ....you can see the roof of the carriage house peaking over the pale pink blossoms..... ....a misty morning view of the south bo...

This time of year, Spring wreaks havoc upon me.....daily routine tasks become like a life sentence for my soul....do I stay indoors and pluck... dawdle away..... at what needs to be done..... :( laundry..... sewing....cleaning.... or other projects begun in earnest when the weather was not optimum....  like, vintage organdy waiting to be stretched over lamp shades.... or...do I sneak outdoors every chance that comes my way, when the sun is shining and the garden is luring me in..... :)   The bleeding heart, about twenty years old now, needs to be divided and moved.... ....the " montana" clematis just needs to be enjoyed in full bloom! Right? ....and the Chinese peonies, so tempermental..... this year, just three blooms..... last year over twenty, are threatening for attention.... I have surrendered to them before.... So fragile and beautiful..... Some newly planted white rhododendrons, have attracted my attention, with first year, pristine bl...
