I love their smell! Ashley had peony buds in her wedding bouquet and it was beautiful!

Peonies are my all time favorite flower. They are beautiful to look at and their fragrance is wonderful. Blessings, SusanD

I love peonies because not only do they look beautiful and smell wonderful but they last nearly two weeks in a vase! The ultimate cut flower!

Marjie said...

Our peonies aren't blooming yet. I think they may be delayed a bit because we've had such cold, gawdawful weather here. I'm so glad Smudge approves of them.

Lovely photos of the Peonies. My father loved them. My daughter-in-law says they are known as the poor man's rose. Frankly, I would rather have a Peonies than a Rose.

Beautiful peonies. I love their fragrance too. I have double blossoms of hot pink and wish they bloomed all year long.

Wow! I've never had any peonies. They're beautiful. Are they hard to grow?

Hands down my favorite flower. One day when I get married, I want to do so in late May just so I can have peonies. All those petals, all those different color options, it's just a lovely flower.

Wow, your photos are sooooo well done! The lighting is just perfect, as is the focus. They look like pictures from a magazine! Beautiful!

I adore peonies. In a glass vase, just hanging sloppily all over the place.

Beautiful Peonies! I have some roses that remind me a little of Peonies.
