I hadn’t heard of Peonies until I moved in with Doug. He has two Peony plants but his neighbors have tons. All throughout the older neighborhood Peonies thrive.
It wasn’t until I started dabbling in party planning did I learn that Peonies are such a prized flower. It makes sense – they are full of luscious layers and they are in full bloom for only a week or so. (At least in our yard.) Since they come and go so fast, this year I wanted to follow them from Spring to Summer.
Don’t their folds look like tissue paper? They are such a delicate flower – sadly, most of ours are already gone – Peony petals are spread all over our lawn from the fierce wind.
Hello, Goodbye Peonies.
I also love the Peony flower. I was never sucessful in growing them. I think they have to be buried quite shallow. Your pictures are great. When I grew up, all the houses had Peonies, Iris, and Lilacs, and they would bloom just in time to make bouquets to take to the cemetaries on Memorial Day.
i LOVE peonies! these are beautiful.
a picture series of peonies growing made into a movie would be so pretty. I love them and all their shades of pink!
Those are great pictures, so pretty the peony. We had one in N.S.L. but it never bloomed. I love that you captured all of its beauty.
