One thing that I'm starting to slowly understand, that I didn't before, is how fleeting many flowers are in terms of how long they bloom, and how cyclical they are.
So I'm waiting forever for the peonies, but they weren't here for long :-(
But at the same time, I'm starting to understand the order they come in.
April: crocuses.
May: tulips, peonies, fruit trees.
June: glorious roses, salvia, hydrangea, foxglove, wild flowers.
July: ? I don't know. It's next month. I think Phlox, sunflowers, dahlias, echinacea?
This is obviously not an exhaustive list. But I find it comforting, somehow, to know that everyone who gardens or cares about gardening is waxing poetic in June about wild roses. I know you would have been showing off the rose bushes, too.
Love M
