First Peony Clippings

It's Peony time in my backyard!

I was able to pick three gorgeous blooms at dusk last night - - they first of the season.



Oh how I love this time of year . . . within a couple days I'm sure they will be blooming faster then I will be able to clip them.

But for now I'm enjoying these humble three . . . the first one's are always so very special to me.  They kick off my summer with a beautiful start.




I decided to place each flower is a glass, footed dessert cup and arrange them on a cutting board on the kitchen table.  

Simple and Sweet.

The sparkle . . . the scent . . . the beautiful color. . . 

Simple perfection.




Why, Oh Why, must these gorgeous flowers only arrive once a year!

You can be sure I'll be enjoying them as long as they last.

Bye now,

Robin

  5. These flowers are so pretty and I love how you have them displayed. So simple, yet they make such a statement. I should have cut some of mine because we got heavy rain that knocked them all apart. Now I have to wait for some more to bloom!

  8. So pretty! The peonies in the front are done blooming and I didn't get a chance to cut, but the peony in the back is about to bloom, so (if I remember) I'll have to cut a bloom and place it in a pretty crystal vase.

  9. My absolute favourite flower and you displayed them so beautifully, where I live they don't grow well,l I have tried but failed.
    I love gorgeous flowers and always have some type on display even if its just green leaves with silk ones threaded through.
    Love your photos.
