In my mind Peonies mark the official start of summer for gardeners as they tend to bloom around Memorial Day. Although their bloom is brief, it is worth savoring every fragrant moment. Even after the ruffled and fragrant flowers finish blooming, Peonies dark green, round, and shrubby form provide a tidy and structured element for one’s garden. Most gardener’s make use of flower ring supports because the luscious and abundent flowers have stems that cannot fully support the 3-4″ ruffled blooms. Peonies come in a variety of colors ranging from white, pink to deep raspberry. Peonies are best fully appreciated when cut and brought inside.

Happy Gardening!

What’s In This Bouquet: Fill vase with as many Peonies as you can fit. Mix fully opened blossoms and ones still in bud form. A large or short vase will do. These Peonies are a light pink variety called Raspberry Sundae. Special thanks to my friend who let me cut these beautiful flowers from her garden as my Peony plant is too young to yield an abundance of flowers.
