Summer’s End
by petal & pins
One of the peony trees in my garden kept me guessing for several years as to the colour of it’s blooms (yellow).
It doesn’t flower often or profusely but it’s saving grace is beautiful pink stems so when I pruned some of the height I set about finding what pink flowers were in the garden to combine with the peony foliage for a decidedly pretty vase arrangement.
I’ve photographed it in front of a length of fabric I bought on our travels that hangs in the hallway to the backdoor. This piece we bought in Paris and the delicate illustrations of bathers at the seaside are charming.
Are you enjoying the delights of Spring in your garden or are you too at Summer’s end? I’m linking this post up with Cathy at Rambling in the Garden for her challenge to find something from the garden to put in a vase each week – why not join in?

The colours in your vase and the photographs are gorgeous – as if there is something special in the light. The colours of blooms you have found in your garden are perfectly matched in the fabric, and the overall effect is stunning. Thanks so much for sharing
Thanks Cathy. Lovely afternoon light – though that will soon change with daylight saving ending this weekend.
What a luscious arrangement! Looks great with your special fabric too.
