  2. I would love to have a peonies and hydrangeas in my yard. When I was a kid my mom had a huge peony bush in the yard and a row of hydrangeas growing at the end of her house. It was gorgeous.

  3. The grey flower bobby pins are adorable. I am constantly shoving bobby pins in my hair to keep my bangs under control and should really start doing that in a more attractive way :)

  4. I would love to have a huge garden of pink toned peonies. It reminds me of my childhood in Idaho. A friend from my childhood, her mother, had a huge garden of them. Some of the best memories.

  23. If I could plant a bunch of knockout rose bushes…that is my dream. They are so beautiful! Problem is we have to haul in dirt because we live on a big rock, and our back yard is steep. So it’s not so easy to just create a garden of any sort.

    I like plants with seasonal interest so I think I’d say oakleaf hydrangea. It’s a great plant for shade and has nice foliage, beautiful flowers and great fall color. I also like Itea (Henry’s Garnet or another variety) for the same reason. The Knock-out roses are great, too!
    Thanks for the giveaway! I have a little girl who would love those!

    I love lavender in my backyard, with a few sunflowers behind them. The lavender attracts and feeds the bees, and smells delish. And sunflowers make the yard cheerful. Plus, it makes me feel like I am in Provence!!
