First Peony Clippings


I clipped the first peonies from our garden the other day. The blossoms are much bigger than last year as I had just planted them last spring. This variety is called 'Shirley Temple'. I love the fluffy white softness of the white petals.



I put the little bouquet on my night stand.

    Beautiful!! I have always loved peonies but have yet to grow them. Maybe next year!

    Where did you get your bedside lamp? I adore it. (And sorry if you've posted this before and I've forgotten!)

    I've never seen this variety before, but they are gorgeous! The peony ship has sailed, in the upper Midwest....so, it is wonderful to see them, again, here! xx Suzanne

    Those are just a fluffy cloud of peony heaven and the beautiful pitcher is the silver lining! Unbelievably pretty! So happy that you have those blooms right outside your front (or back) door. :) xo J~

    Peonies are one of my absolute favorite flowers, in part because their bloom period is so sweetly short and that makes me savor them all the more . . . .

    Gorgeous!
    I have never seen peonies so white. All the white ones I have seen still have a pink tinge. I will definitely keep my eye out for these.
