Loved this little book. I never knew there was so much to these gorgeous flowers. I also picked up some tips as to why I have no flowers yet…need to wait another two years!

I love peonies, they are the flower I always buy for my step gran. I‘m trying to grow one with no luck currently.

freeatlast1137 That is a pretty cover! 2w
TheBookHippie I love them too. 2w
Clare-Dragonfly I adore peonies. They‘re the one flower I like as much cut as growing. 2w

BookNAround I love peonies too. I don‘t love the fact that they need ants to be successful though! 2w
Darklunarose @Clare-Dragonfly hey truely are beautiful! 2w
Darklunarose @BookNAround I didn‘t know that about ants! We have masses of what I call feral attack ninja ants, the peony is in a pot under our lemon tree that the ants protect (scale insects) maybe they will finally be useful! But it‘s probably the climate here making it hard. 2w
MemoirsForMe I may need to grow these and give all the ants around here something useful to do! 😁 2w
Darklunarose @MemoirsForMe 🤣 I know they have. Place in nature! But they should be constructive. One of ours bit a friend near the eye last week while she was weeding here. 2w

1. I was out and about on Main Street Saturday and saw some lovely peonies in front of a church.
2. That afternoon I went to a community band concert that wasn‘t only free but also included refreshments at intermission.
3. I became a patron of my favorite podcast and got a nice personal message from one of the cohosts.
4. Everyone I voted for in the primary won. Now the real fun starts!
5. New stickers for my BuJo.

Just a #christmasflowers photo for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere - its peony time here in New Zealand. I put some plastic holly berries in there to make it more Christmassy 😂😂 ( @CarolynM $20 worth of flowers from the local fruit shop - love our fruit shop! 😀)

Okay this is less of a weird word and more of a weird pronunciation but I just noticed that my partner pronounces peonies in the weirdest way! He's southern and I'm a transplant so we're always laughing about new differences in language/speaking habits
Which way do you pronounce peonies?
PEE-uh-neez
or
pee-OH-neez

"This morning the green fists of the peonies are getting ready to break my heart" Mary Oliver ?. That's what they look like to before they bloom, angry little green fists . Picked these up from Literati yesterday

Spring in my yard today!

To The Dandelion
Dear common flower,that grow‘st beside the way,
Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold!
First pledge of of blithesome May,…

@catiewithac these arrived at the end of last week. Thank you so much! It‘s very sweet of you. The soaps smell so nice, and their packages have the coolest drawings! The bookmark is special, my sister‘s name is Clover! Thanks for thinking of me. 💜
