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.

    1. They are so fragrant, the whole house smells like peonies. They don't last long, I just keep picking them.

  2. Gorgeous! 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.

    1. I 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.
