peonies

these aren't my peonies.

they are at the house next door.
these peonies have to be very old…the bush is huge and it has so many blooms.
they are the perfect shade of pink.
enjoy.

or my nails.
definitely my most favorite flower.

Lollipoplin - You are SO GOOD behind the camera!! 🙂

julie - absolutely beautiful!! I want some!! 🙂

Bethany - Aww….this TOTALLY transported me back to Kansas! Oh how I miss it! My parents have two peony bushes out front and this instantly reminded me of them!! They attract lots of ants, but they sure are pretty!! Thanks for the memory…I needed that today!

Sarah - Thanks for sharing these photos. I love peonies but can’t get them to grow in my yard. It makes me very sad and it also makes me want to ask “is this house peony friendly” before we buy our next one.

Carrie K - stunning…
let me know if you find that nail polish… 🙂

pve - So perty!
Pink lips….moi!

Jennifer - i live for these colors..

dawn - Peonies, purple lilacs, and sweet peas — my top 3 flowers. 🙂
My friend REALLY wanted peonies in her wedding bouquet. And while they were in everyone’s yard (all over Minneapolis/St.Paul) they were SUPER DUPER expensive from the florist! We debated doing a little pruning around town — but she finally went with tulips instead. They were beautiful too — but they weren’t peonies!!! I think of her every time I see them.

Becky @ Farmgirl Paints - Lovely! Those pictures were terrific. I could almost smell them they were so close.

Jessica - Peonies have to be one of the top 3 of my favorite flowers. I love them so much and they smell amazing! I was in PA last week visiting my family and cut a large bouquet out of my cousin’s yard to enjoy while I was there. I live in south Louisiana and don’t get to grow these beauties 🙁 Thanks for the beautiful pics!

Ann - I can’t wait for mine to bloom! What beautiful pictures! I saw the comment about you in Country Living…I will anxiously await my copy in the mail! Will you autograph mine? -smile-

CherryTreeLane - The pictures are gorgeous!
I say go for a wall in pink! (says the girl that painted her living room Orange)….

the tulip lady - YOU….young lady are in Country Living…just got my copy in the mail today. And the cute as a button little Miss Annie. Rock on sister friend!!!

Andrea from Orlando - So beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I wish they would grow in Florida.

NewlyWoodwards - You are really adding to my obsession over peonies. I’ve been going gaga over them around here.

Marie - One word. GORGEOUS!
Blessings,
Marie

Hannah - Woah girl! Why were you up at 4 am?!
Those peonies are gorgeous though!! Beautiful pictures!

Jenn N - My absolute favourite flower. It took me six years but I finally have one bush that looks like it will bloom in the next few days. So happy about that!
By the way, beautiful pictures.

Cissi - Lovely flowers!

missanne - they’re so lovely.

leigh ann - Love the peonies! I also posted some that I started from my Grandma’s garden years ago. I love tham because they remind me of her. 🙂
Thanks for sharing!

Aubrey - I have got to go to the nursery and buy come peony plants already. You have me converted. And I really hope that my zinnia seeds I still have yet to plant will grow in time–you’ve got me converted with those too. I just wish our growing season was a little longer…

Laura - I needed something pretty to look at this morning. thanks!

Patti - peonies are my favorite flower. i hate that they are only around for such a short period of the year. but i love them just the same. i hate to say it, but it would be hard for me to resist snipping a few of these! 🙂 thanks for making my day with these beauties!

Lanny Stanard - My Peonies are almost bloomed and I can’t wait… Hope your having fun on your vac…
Lanny 🙂

Kathy - So beautiful I love them.

ElizabethE - Good Lord — those are some gorgeous photos. I love that long scroll of pink. I love peonies!

Dina - First off, what are you doing up at 4am posting pics of peonies???? Secondly, I’m in Wichita and our’s have already bloomed and gone. – definately a flower I wish would bloom all summer long:-) Beautiful pictures:-)

juliann - Megan – i love peonies too; my favorite, favorite. too bad the bloom doesn’t last too long!!!!!!!!
Juliann

Elisa - I have been cutting all of mine and bringing them inside so I can smell them all day. Love!

Lori Danelle - Love peonies!!! I’ve been planning on adding some to my yard for years now, but can’t decide where to put them.
Also, the year before I got married, my bedroom walls were that color of pink! I LOVED IT!! It was incredible. That particular shade wasn’t too girly, it was much too bold to be considered “girly.” If I remember right, even my now husband liked it, but I would never make him sleep in a pink room!! I would love to have a room that color again. . .Luckily, I have 2 girls!!

Darby - I love Peonies… unfortunately we can’t grow them down here… too darn hot!

brooke - wow gorgeous…these have been my favorite flower for some time now and i recently purchased seeds from an etsy dealer promising they are fast, tall, and full growing so we shall see!! if they look anything like your neighbors i will be overjoyed!

Ashley Ann - Wow…I would be tempted to go under the cover of night and make a bouquet for myself…surely with that many blooms they’d never notice. Beautiful.

Joni - Gorgeous photos…in fact, it’s pretty hard NOT to take an excellent photo of a peony! Mine are set to burst open any day now! LOVE IT!
XOXO

Joanie @ The Bright Side - What beautiful photos! Our peonies haven’t bloomed yet. I can’t wait after seeing your pictures!

Anna@Boogers,Bibs,Books&Bubbles - I LOVE peonies! Definitely my favorite flower, as well. There is a peony farm about an hour from here and I want to go there so bad. I was so bummed when I found out that they weren’t in season for my wedding bouquet. I love how full and plump they are. Beautiful pictures!!!

Wendy - So pretty! I wish my Peonies looked like that. I’ve got a “bush” that’s about 2 years old and has yet to get bigger than a foot and a half tall. Yeah, I’m the world’s worst gardener.
