My parents wanted to go see the peonies that were in bloom at Meadowlark Gardens, so we went on Friday morning to walk around the gardens and admire the flowers. Here are some snapshots I took on my phone!
Meadowlark Peonies

Pretty Peonies…
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!
