Peonies!

Peonies have been a long time favorite of mine. Their large layered blooms make me happy. These pretty flowers even made up my wedding bouquet. I wish I could have frozen these flowers in time and still had them to admire today...

I adore these flowers so much, that the hubs and I even planted some in our front garden. These are not the best photos, but you get the idea...

My absolute favorite is this one (below) with pale pink petals and yellow on the inside. 

This particular variety is also one of the most fragrant flowers I have ever smelled! Doesn't it just put a smile on your face?!
