The peony's brief season is happening, right now. Hurry to your local florist before it's too late! These luscious flowers are shown to their best advantage either single-stem or in a large, loose mass. No need to add other flowers or greenery...these blooms can hold their own just fine!

I love peonies and I also love how Japan celebrates flowers' seasons. There is nothing more irritating (to me) than seeing tulips or even worse, hydrangeas in a cheesy teleflora vase marketed for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHehe. Tulips for Christmas.
