We stopped by Fragrant Farms in New Harmony, IN yesterday to see the peonies and iris. What a wonderful place! I love seeing the masses of peonies spreading across the fields.
A distant shot of the masses of peonies.
....and the resident cat who always greets us when we come and walks through the flowers with us :-) Through that gate you can see the vineyard.
My favorites....a single petal variety of red with a yellow center. I must get one of these!
Here it is....almost like a large rose! Gorgeous!
One of the pink varieties with the frilly center.
I love the whites that have the touch of red in the center area. I have this type.
I like this pale pink one.
The multi-petal reds that are more common than that single petal one.
This farm also has iris mixed in with the peonies....masses of color!
The purple makes such a nice backdrop for the peonies.
I thought these were wonderful.

What a riot of color; Roger and I were just talking yesterday or the day before about what colors peonies come in...here you showed them.
Happy Mom's day!
Thanks everyone...it is a lovely place to go just to take photos.
Rose: I think there are other colors, too. The common ones around here are the different varieties of red, pink, and white, but I believe there are yellow ones as well.
What a lovely name for the farm Mary. The peach colored iris is stunning.
What a beautiful place. Your pictures are lovely.

Wow what a beautiful place and wonderful way to spend Mother's Day weekend!
What a gorgeous post of colors Mary! I LOVE Poenies, and I honestly can smell them from here.
I just hope mine didn't get frozen.
