    Each time I meander down the perennial walk, I find myself taking a photo of this beautiful flower. This is one plant I will be planting this year in my garden. This member of the rose family looks amazing flanked by taller perennials on the side and smaller perennials in the front and perhaps a few bulbs for added flavor.

After potting up and overwintering in my garage for 4 years I finally decided on a spot to plant this. Keeping fingers crossed it does well.

Lazy S'S Farm delivery arrived. It is quite small and I am scared my husband will kill it with his weed whacker so I am keeping it potted for now.
