There are numerous growers of Peonies here in Willamette Valley. I've visited them over the years but until now have not grown the flower. Peonies are a statement flower like none other. In my garden there is one clump showing off and I almost missed seeing them bloom! Below is a picture taken about three weeks ago when the peonies were in bud.
And, here I found them blooming their hearts out just a few days later!
They should bloom strong for a couple of weeks and other buds will come forth.
Mother's Day is this coming weekend and I will be working in the local floral shop as "extra" help. My work background includes being a florist and it's a wonderful thing to do "holiday" arranging. We will be designing with Peonies, since the local farmers make them available. It will be sheeeeer joy!
Have a Happy Mother's Day!
If you are not a mom "Happy Mother's Day" for being you!
You are making me want to grow peonies in my garden here! I wonder if they will grow in my climate...
