Flowers that Bloom in May

I can't imagine a world without flowers.

They soften all the hard lines of our lives.

So in honor of the old adage, "April Showers bring May Flowers,"

here are some more flowers that bloom in May, including

deliciously blue delphinium:

"Sunset" day lilies:

Freesia:

And probably most reminiscent of May for me

are peony blossoms. 

They are one of those flowers that have been present

in my life ever since I can remember.

The bright pink ones, I love the best:

To everything there is a season, and I'm glad the month of May

brings out the beauty in our gardens, 

whether they are grown in a small pot on the windowsill 

or in a meadow sweeping away to the horizon.
