Tree peonies on Show & Tell Friday

Participating in "Show and Tell Friday", I'd like to share the stars of my garden this week.  The tree peonies have exploded. We estimate to have easily over 100 blooms in white, shades of pink and purple. I've also put a photo of the beautiful, blooming cream clematis. Several of the blooms graced a wedding bouquet last week, along with our lily of the valley. Needless to say, along with the lilacs that are finishing their blooms, it smells heavenly every time I even go near an open window!
