When pickle jars turn into flower vases
I'm running out of vases. I waited and waited for the peonies to bloom and now they have just exploded. I counted 12 bushes in my garden and most of them are white. There was one dark pink one, but it only had a few blooms which I took to my Mother a few days ago. Medium pink account for about 3 bushes. Anyhow, I have filled all the vases I had, and am scrounging in the recycle bin for jars. The irises are about finished blooming, so today I will have another large vase to fill with white peonies.

oh those are lovely and to run out of vases so wonderful
ReplyDeleteThey are so fragrant, the whole house smells like peonies. They don't last long, I just keep picking them.
DeleteGorgeous! I love peonies but I seldom see them where I live now. My mom always had peonies in the yard. They're such an outrageously lush flower.
ReplyDeleteI think they are pretty prevalent in the Pacific N..W. I never saw them in California, and don't in Texas, except in Whole Foods or floral shops, and expensive. So happy to have them "in the wild" here.
