The beauty of peonies never really ends.
They are lovely even when their petals fall.
Yesterday I had to toss the last of the peonies purchased at
LIDL during a weekly grocery run.
Ten buds for $15.00 = 3 amazing weeks of beauty!
Fresh flowers don't come any better than that.
They were spectacular and their fragrance lasted until the end.
Sarah Bernhardt beauties brightened so many days.

They are spectacular and were well worth the money!
ReplyDeleteOh yes Meike, they were a bargain. I saw similar at double that price in other floral departments in grocery stores - the only places I seem to visit these days!
DeleteHi, I love the first picture of the peonies with the falling petals. It looks like a painting. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Sarah - I visited your blog and left a comment!
DeletePainting yes - perhaps I should blow up and print - I would love it hanging on a wall!
"belles fleurs mortes" what a lovely image they make.
ReplyDeleteHi dear Rosemary. . . . and they sound even more beautiful in French!!!
DeleteYes, that first picture is particularly appealing despite the flowers being "past their best". The beauty of the field of peonies I photographed a few weeks ago has certainly ended though; they've been chopped off at near ground level!
ReplyDeleteIt's sad such beautiful blooms can't last forever - but at least they gave much enjoyment, and perfumed the room, for much longer than expected at three whole weeks!
DeleteI think peonies are my favorite flower....
ReplyDeleteMine too! They are so long lasting also and their fragrance is beautiful.
DeleteI must try to grow more!
I don't think I've ever seen real peonies. They are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI so wish I could send you a bunch dear Loree - you would so enjoy them!
DeleteDear Mary,
ReplyDeleteThey were a beautiful bunch.
