Living family history

Here is a lovely ivory peony bloom...I wish the blog could capture its lovely perfume!  This peony bush is special, because it is a piece of family history.  It came from my Grandma Minota's garden to my first house in Naperville, Illinois, and then moved with us to our current home in Canton, Georgia.  It brings me pleasure every year, not only because it is one of my most favorite flowers, but also because it's like a little piece of my grandma every spring (she passed away the year before I got married).
