Pops of Peonies
May 30, 2015The first thing I did Friday morning after having been gone for a few weeks is head to the Market and breathe in the sights & scents of the peonies. We searched high and low in our country hood for the blooms and came up short. The season up there just not kicking in quite yet. Seattle on the other hand, my oh my oh my, peony heaven.
Buckets and buckets of them just waiting to be loved.
I love the progression of them being a nice tight ball and then watching them unfold and do their fluttery poetic dance like only they can do.
They have been scattered around the shops and home in single stem vases since the moment they started showing up at the Market. Pops of peony here and there–that way the singular beauty of each ruffly petal is enjoyed and thoroughly appreciated.
