I did a table this morning for the upcoming holiday. The whole table was inspired by these flopping peonies. I posted it on my tablescaping blog. If you are interested, you can read about it here.
Betty, It took 15 years to get a bloom on that bush!!! LOL. I guess I finally moved it to a place it liked. It's been blooming for a few years now.
Karen, I almost ued less formal blue glasses, but I decided I like the mix--a sort of rustic formal. We are just about ready to have dinner on it for the first time.
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

Love those flopping peonies..great tablescape, Zoey. Here we have the big celebration on July 1..red and white!
ReplyDeleteAwesome peony bush you have there!
I like those candles, and the somewhat incongruous red wine glasses on a gingham tablecloth. You're all set for the holiday now.

Oooooh!!! Your peony finally bloomed. It's gorgeous. I only got that one bud this year.
ReplyDeleteHappy July 4th in advance to you lot down south. It was Canada day here yesterday July 1st.
