and fall right into the soft petals.....
These peonies smell like Heaven...

Thank you Ladies.I wish you could have smelled them...really beautiful...Unfortunately, they are now in my compost pile, being recycled...I wish cut flowers could last a little longer.

I just love peonies. I have only one growing in my garden and it's blooms are long gone. What wonderful pictures!
I have a little crush on your guinea pigs too, how cute are they?

Hi Lola Nova! So far i have planted 3 new peony bushes in my front garden, but they are immature and not ready to bloom yet...Maybe by next year i hope. These were purchased at the Troy Farmer's Market. I walked by them standing in buckets and couldn't pass them without picking up a few.

I love peonies. My grandfater used to grow them. We can't grow them where I live...

Thank you Crimsoncat! And Theresa, i fell in love with peonies because my grandmother used to grow them too. They bring back memories...
