the peonies are in bloom
oh the scent!
oh the perfection!
one of my favorite things about new york: you can get peonies in white pink, fuschia and black! They last for days and the room smells so sweet. Plus you can get them at any corner deli. Thank you God!

Peonies are my fav too! Mine haven’t bloomed yet – but close…I always have to soak mine though because inevitably they are full of ants :)

Did you know you need the ants for the peonies to bloom? what a relationship they have…so save the ants!
Yes, of course I love them too!

How interesting that they are called ‘black’ instead of burgundy…
I have always been envious of those with flower markets like you have!! I have to settle for premade bouquets at the supermarket for now…

I actually just made that up about black…thought it was dramatic but you’re right! My client was telling me about the ‘cutting garden’ she had to combat the supermarket blues!

I found you via Gypsy Purple and glad that I did. These flowers are ravishing.. I love flowers and spend all day yesterday taking pictures of roses and a few poppies. I’ll definitely be back.
