Paeony flower in decline



Spring has sprung!

I always feel that spring is here when the first blooms appear on our Tree Paeony ( Paeonia ludlowii)

My indisposition precluded much photography

Photinia spray

he theme for this week's Photo Hunt is walking. As readers will realise walking is something that I have not been able to do much of recently. My cast came off two weeks ago but even now I am not exactly mobile. Still, last wekk I did get out into teh garden on my crutches and I did work out how to take some shots while propping myself up. I have posted other examples of all of these flowers in teh last week (except the abutilon). Still I hope you enjoy what I photographed on what was a short walk in the garden
