I enjoyed the Gettysburg Address yesterday!

Yes, the size and beauty of the peonies. And long lasting fragrance of the sweet williams. I'll plant those in the grass cause they take root well and persist even into dry and heat. Too bad the big showy peonies drop their petals so fast. Poppies may have become fashionable after WWI, but seem to bloom later than decoration day, generally.
