Saw these lovely peonies on the way home from work at Bloomies in Rockridge, and I couldn’t resist! I picked up a bundle to take home with me. 🙂
Peonies are a close second to cherry blossoms when it comes to my favorite flowers. I would have made my bridal bouquet all in peonies if they weren’t so expensive! (These three stems alone cost me a pretty penny… :() I prefer when they are still sort of in bud form, rather than fully in bloom and open. I just love their plump, round shape and the lush, tissuey layers of petals… gorgeous!

I agree, Misono! so precious with all those layers, these are my new fav flowers next to calla lillies and gerber daisies!

The delicate layers are really lovely ♥ Mother Nature’s work of art! Calla lilies are pretty, too!

do you live near a whole foods? because they’re pretty cheap there. i also adore peonies and designed a whole huge bouquet of them for my sister’s grad that only cost me ~15. the great thing about peonies is that because they’re so large, you only need a few to make a nicely sized bouquet 🙂

Wow, that’s a good deal! Each stem was $7, so it put me over $20 for just three stems! I don’t think I’ve ever seen peonies at the Whole Foods here though. Maybe they weren’t in season the times I’ve gone.
