Each year when these peonies bloom, I remember helping Grandma Bessie in her flower gardens. I would weed the peonies and irises, planting zinnia seeds where Grandma wanted them, her knees too sore to bend down for so long. She gave these to me many years ago to start in my own gardens, and I always think of her when they open up. She taught me so much about growing veggies and perennials, and she always shared her zinnia seeds with me! I love the special family memories connected to the blooms in my garden. I have a whole garden full of memories! Painting number 3054 in 3054 days.
