Peonies, Irises, Salvia and more!

I have two varieties of Peony plants that are coming into full bloom. This red one is so stunning with its lush, richly deep red color and full flower. I have one of these plants in the center stump garden and one in the garden on the north side of the yard near the azalea. 

My other peony is my all time favorite with its huge pink flowers with a creamy, off white center. 

This peony resides on the north side of my south stump garden near the road.

I planted this Salvia near the pink peony, but on the road side of the stump. The purple contrasts so nicely with the bright pink. Note that I took this photo before moving it to its final location. 

The Smooth Spiderwort is now in bloom next to and under the leaves of the Interrupted Fern in the garden to the south side of the front deck stairs. Yikes...do you see the pollen on all the plant surfaces? No wonder I have so many sneezing fits, a runny nose, and itchy eyes this time of year! 

For the last new plant in bloom, check out this pretty white and yellow iris! It is next to the peony in the garden on the north side of the front yard.
