Peonies are a popular choice for brides this time of year. It doesn't take many to make a nice size bouquet or centerpiece. They look gardeny yet sophisticated all at once. They're billowy and fluffy, and they smell great, bonus!

A Few Shots of the Garden
Peonies are one of my favorite early summer flowers, so much so that my garden keeps mysteriously sprouting new varieties! Not without a little help from my fantastic local peony farm though!

Anenome style peony above.
Double petal varieties above and below.
I also have a burgundy and a green single I planted last fall that aren't blooming this year. Keeping my fingers crossed for a bounty next year!
A coral colored favorite has already gone by.
The petals on this single petaled variety resemble crepe paper.
This isn't a peony but had to share anyway! Lavender bed is just about to bloom. Smells heavenly...mmmmm. Going into a couple of bouquets soon!
