May flowers

Because I love them so much, I've tried 3 times to plant tree peonies in the backyard (A tree peony is kind of like a regular peony, but it grows as a shrub instead of a perennial, and the flowers are bigger and have fewer petals.) Thanks to bad placement, the neighbor's dog, and my own dogs it never worked out.  That is until this year! 

Look at that bloom!  I wish you all could smell it, it's heavenly!
