Fragrant Flowers

Opps missed a couple months here.

So Korea hasn't happened yet. BUT! It's still a high probable future...be watching and waiting.

I had an interesting gardening experience the other day. My mom and I had these weird shrubs that were growing in between our Rhododendron. They looked like weeds. SHORT, UGLY, WITHOUT FLOWER and FRAGRANT-LESS!

I told my mom we oughta dig 'em up and send them out! But they still hadn't flowered yet, so we decided to wait a while and see if maybe our eyes were just being mislead...

Boy were we wrong about those shrubs:

They were actually peony bushes.

Peonies (as you can see) are BIG, BEAUTIFUL, HIGHLY FRAGRANT flowers. Nothing at all like weeds. So it just goes to show. You never can tell. Don't judge a book by it's cover. People (Plants?) are like onions (layers, layers, layers)..

So if you ever find what you think is a nasty weed in your yard, wait a couple weeks. You never know, you might just have a stunning peony bush!

FYI Peonies really are beautiful and very fragrant. I highly recommend them.

Happy Gardening!
