Re: SOME BROOKLYN NYC GARDEN PICTURES

My 'Bowl of Beauty' languished for many years, not really putting out a lot of blooms. 

I had to dig up & pot up the 8 peonies I had next to our driveway when an attached garage was built in that area. That fall, I transplanted 2 divisions of each peony into the area next to a new brick pavers walkway.  

This is year 2 after the transplant & 'Bowl of Beauty' as well as the remaining 7 were covered with buds this year. This is the best year yet for those peonies. I guess they got just enough full sun & cold weather to set buds! 

I guess the division & transplant helped!

So beautiful! I am feasting my eyes. How do you store your beautiful plants in winter? You must have somebody strong to lift and move them.

Beautiful! You've done a terrific job - everythings fits in so well. I love the lobelia. I had one in a very large pot a few years ago and the hummingbirds loved it!

Just Beautiful! Wonderful choices of color & texture. Those Lemon Coral Sedum really pop. A work of Love. Great choices for those perennials. Do you have a seating area on your balcony? @BklynKinsey
