This is a diary by photo and comment to highlight the progress of plants, especially peonies, through the seasons at my home near Mount Uniacke/ Lakelands in Nova Scotia, Canada. Some other goings-on will probably also sneak into it.

Large showy flower heads in mid summer make this a valuable perennial in colder climates, as it is hardy to USDA zone 3. Common names for this plant are Red Feathers or Red Feather Ornamental Clover, an apt name. Hight 1-2 feet.
It's native to central Europe from northern Spain through to Romania and central Russia; it tends to grow in dry open woods and scrub, but in the garden is best in full sun.
