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.
