Peonies... too late in Texas

 Peonies are my very favorite flowers! They have been for years and years! (Well, I used to favor paper white narcissus, until my mom bought me some for my 16th birthday and their phototropism completely weirded me out. It's like they're alive! eew!) Anyway, now I love peonies and ranunculas. They just feel like spring!

Anyway, these lovely spring flowers only grow in the late winter here in Texas, unfortunately.

 Besides peonies and ranunculas, I just tend to gravitate towards ruffle-y flowers, especially if they happen to be purple or fuschia!

Don't they just feel like spring!? LOVE how great that fuschia looks with the chartreuse seat upholstery. Mmm, jewel tones.... ahhhh, spring!
