Peony Time!

Whenever I think of Peonies, I think of my gardening friend, Cindy!  She has this big row of absolutely spectacular white peonies!   I crave their fragrance so I absolutely must make a visit to her garden beds whether she is home or not!  Thank goodness she is only a few blocks away!

Cindy taught me that you can pick peonies about the stage where the bud begins to show the flower, wrap them in newspaper and stash it in your refrigerator until you want to enjoy a flower.  Then take it out of the refrigerator, make a fresh cut on the stem end and park it in water.....it will open then!  So, you can extend the peony season enjoyment!
