Flower of The Month: THE PEONY!!!
I am so excited to finally be able to claim my favorite flower as “in season”! Peonies are the epitome of spring. Their feathery blooms and sensational scent make this flower a must have bloom. While these blooms are expensive, they are also huge! Even a small bunch of 5 dropped into a glass pitcher will make a grand statement.
As soon as I see the first bunch of peonies arrive at my wholesaler, I know that spring is officially here! A few weeks ago I saw a small bucket with only one or two bunches of small headed peonies. Now, buckets upon buckets of the lavish pink, red, and white blooms line the aisles of the wholesalers cooler. I never leave without at least two or three bunches…how can I resist?
Peonies are the official “spoil yourself” gift of spring. They have a pretty good vase life as well so you will be able to enjoy them for days to come.
