Do you remember the basket of peonie buds I bought at a fair last week? Some readers wrote asking whether I really thought they would ever open.
Well, it took 10 days of gentle coaxing, but we got there. Their stems were trimmed each day, and their water changed regularly, and finally they gave in and revealed their beautiful shape and colour.
As an added bonus, their perfume is divine!
Rather than creating a fussy arrangement, I simply shared the blooms between a group of antique white ironstone jugs. The flowers have more breathing space and they can be moved around too.
Just tell me, what could feel more luxurious
than fresh peonies around the house?!
