The Pink Spring Flowers in New England

Pink Rhododenrons and Peonies in Bloom

Chippy the Chipmunk is Back With the Pretty Flowers

If you have visited this blog for a year you may have remembered Chippy. He was the friendly chipmunk always ready for a photograph. If he is the same chipmunk this year he is a little shyer. He hid a few times before I got this shot of him. Chipmunks can live for 2-3 years and do not store fat when they hibernate.

The white flowers grow wild all over the yard near picky bushes. Can anyone tell me their name?

The peony, my old time favorite for it's color, short life and beautiful smell, has come out again for a few short days.

What are you favorite flowers this time of the year?

Rhododendrons and Peonies All In Pretty Pink

It's about that time of year again when the rhododendrons bloom beautiful bright pink colors and the peonies starts to bloom. The peonies really started to bloom with the temperatures reaching the low 90's the past few days. 

I had to look back at last year and see when they started to sprout blossoms and it was early May.

Do you have lots of flowers that are now in bloom? 

And are your allergies acting up? According to an allergy doctor the ugly plants are the cause of it.

It's been a bad year for allergies here! 

So Close To A Bloom

We just need some more sun for these peonies to open right up!

The Peony Is About to Burst Open

I can now smell the peony as it's about to burst open. I am fascinated by this plant as it only lasts a short time once it fully blooms.
