sorry umopmumbleyperson....I found it on a poster site, it had no artist's name...gorjuss tho isn't it?
 
Peonies remind me of when I was a child Jaided..not the tree ones, the big deep red ones. We had a huge garden and my dad grew all kinds of fruit and veggies, but had no imagination, so his flower planting was just measured rows of horrible french marigolds. My mum was the one with the eye for colour and shape. <cor I suddenly had the smell of mixed fruit pie yum>
 
I learnt everything about gardening through reading about it, and experimenting and just fiddling about really. I'm constantly moving plants about, but with lots of watering they usually survive.
 
 Got to replant my two window boxes altho the tulips aren't  over yet. I've got one under my kitchen window which is at the front of the cottage and overlooks the allotments which are a sea of purple lilac and vivid yellow gorse. I sort of peer through the purple tulips! May is an awkward time as the spring stuff is still going on, and yet I'm impatient to get summer colour in.
 
Just been outside to feed the fish and the water lilies are in bud, they've spread across the pond despite being in containers. The gunnera is growing almost as you watch it. It's sooooo cold!
