Flowery Friday 2

Yes, some of the bought flowers are in the ground and pots. Yes, it was an act of optimism. Yes, we knew there was a possibility of frost. Then again, that possibility exists nearly year round.

Saturday is looking like another round of winter. Maybe. Nobody is quite sure. The weather statement quote is "Forecast snowfall amounts are highly uncertain. Accumulations of up to 20 centimetres are possible over higher terrain and along the Trans-Canada Highway west of Calgary." Make of it what you will.

Here's a selection of the flowers from the other day.

5. The two peonies beside the house are getting a good start. I'm sure they have their eye on the image of the year podium.

7. The white peony on the left, and the red one on the right are a bit slower to get started. I cleaned out those beds yesterday and can see lots of shoots springing up. I'm sure they have podium plans as well, especially the white one.
