It is Peony time here at Sweetwater!
This picture probably says it all!

The side yard here is bursting with blooms.

Sadly they don’t last long enough….but if you take a minute to click on this link…
there is a way to make the season last a bit longer…

MY TRICK FOR MAKING THE PEONY SEASON LAST LONGER 

 

The Chinese name for peony means “beautiful” and in Chinese  culture the flowers represent riches, prosperity and honor. In Western culture,  the peony serves as the symbol for the 12th wedding anniversary, and in the  language of flowers, represents good fortune and a happy marriage. In Victorian  times, it might also have represented bashfulness, since mischievous nymphs were  said to hide in its magnificent petals.
So now you know…..I hope you are lucky enough to have some of these beauties in your yard!
Cut them and Enjoy!
Have A Wonderful Day!
