One of My Favourite Gardens Grows
Peonies
I do enjoy Winter, but, sometime in February, I start to think about Gardens and June when the Peonies are blooming.
Peonies are one of my favourite flowers, but, they don't bloom in February in my area.
All I can offer is pictures of Peonies in February.

This will be a reminder of all the lovely things to come.
The Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens have one of the best Peony Collections with over 300 varieties. Look for it HERE.
The flowers bloom over a period of five weeks starting around May 20.
The Festival this year is June 10 and 11, 2017 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Festival dates are chosen for optimum Bloom time.

At the Festival they have a Juried Peony Show, Vendors, Music, Photo and Art Contests, and Food Vendors.
Also, the Matsuyama Bonsai Society 30th Annual Show will be there.
This is one of the best shows around and guess what? It is free!
If you can't make it on the weekend of the Festival, that's okay because you can go anytime. I sometimes go two or three times during the bloom period so I can see as many peonies as possible.
The Peony Garden, although an integral part of Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens, is only part of the garden. There is always more to see. In June though, it is the Peonies that steal the show.

This is a small glimpse of June in February. I hope it's not too cold where you are, but, if it is maybe thoughts of Peonies in June will warm you.
You can find me on Pinterest at Fair Meadow Place.
Thanks for visiting.
