I'm glad your hubby got Bandit for you :) Sounds like you had a very happy Mother's Day. The little lantern is so sweet.
I adore that tree peony...gorgeous, and the other one is a wonderful color too. Ours are growing fast!
Oh my, that Rhodie is spectacularly frilly. What a beauty!

No awards necessary...your blog is wonderful! I'm constantly amazed by your beautiful photos. Wish I could use my macro lens as well as you use yours!
BTW, I photographed Canary Broom (Genista canariensis) at the BBG. It really caught my eye. What a beautiful shrub!
