Hello! Peonies are one of my favourite
Flowers, they are so vibrant, so fragrant, and so pretty. Here in
Thunder Bay, they are just ... now in full bloom. In our garden here at
the Camellia, we have 3 different shades of Pink Peonies. Most of the plants have been given to us by friends and family.
Peonies are an easy-going plant, just give them lots of sun, and water
when it's dry, and they will reward you with many blooms. They flower
only once during the Summer, but what a show they put on! Plant them where there is lots of room, as they tend to grow quite large, and dislike being moved.
Such splendour!
This is out best Vase which we sell here at the shop for Peony blooms, $9.95 in-store. Peonies and this vase were, well, made for each other. Our other fav container is an old Mason jar.
Here we have used them in a fresh floral design, which was used at this weekend's Wedding to commemorate Family members who have passed away. The blooms should be cut when just opening, if you want to use them in an arrangement like this one.
And here we have used them in a Bride's Bouquet, stunning, aren't they? We used 3 different shades of Pink, a big thanks to those of you that gave us Peony blooms for Stacey's Bouquet.
A Vintage 1957 Red Pontiac and this red bouquet ... a lovely pairing.
Let's not forget the Whites.

How to arrange Peonies? Just pick them from your Garden, plunk into a vase with water, make a fresh cut on all stems. Here they are looking lovely in a bathroom, paired with 1 stem of spray rose, and million star Gypsophilia.
