I decided I couldn't be the only one who didn't know how to upload a picture into our blog text.
Voila!
This just popped open the other day. It's my maroon-ish bearded iris, which oddly enough, is right next to a yellow one (yet to open), making Gopher colors for S!! I just wish the blooms lasted longer, I always enjoy them so much.
The peonies won't be much longer. The buds are looking rather full and there are ants marching all over them.

Beautiful! Mine are more magenta than this...we also have a lot of purple. I'll need to split some of them again this fall, I think.
What's up with peonies and ants???
Congrats on uploading your photo! This is something I need to work on...I rely on E way too much for downloading pics from the camera and doing whatever processing needs to be done (he has a great camera, but it's fancy enough that things just aren't simple).
I'm sure it's one of those old wive's gardening tales, but I've always heard that the ants help the peonies bloom better. I imagine in practice, the ants just love whatever sweet smelling juice the flowers give off!
Beautiful! My gold ones just bloomed. I'll try a picture!
Lovely Iris. You guys are inspiring me . . . I'll take some pictures of the tomatos, which aren't as pretty as flowers but full of promise none the less.
