I wish Peonies bloomed all summer long!

I wish Peonies bloomed all summer long. They are so lovely, so delicate and oh so short lived!

My peonies are long gone … they finished blooming in late June, but I just realized that I never posted a photo of my Peonies.

I only took pictures of my Peony Pecher Peonies this year. My Karl Rosenfield Peonies bloomed, but we were going through a very rainy period when they bloomed and then right after that it finally warmed up here in Toronto at the end of June and the blooms faded fast … too fast for me to capture them while they still looked beautiful!

Anyway … here’s a picture of my lovely Peony Peacher bloom.

This peony has a beautiful scent. In fact, after a huge rain storm in June, back when we discovered one of trellises had broken and snapped some rose branches, I gathered some lovely scented Baron Prevost roses, one peony and a few hosta leaves for accent and made a bouquet to bring indoors to enjoy. The rose and peony scent filled the house for two or three days! Once the rose scent faded, the peony scent took over for another day or so. Simply lovely to have such scented flowers indoors!

Do you grow Peonies? Do you bring a cut flower or two indoors so you can enjoy their loveliness and beautiful scent? What other flowers do you enjoy bringing indoors?

Karl Rosenfield Peony

Yes I know this is a spring flower, but even though it’s not Spring her in North America we do have some members of Green Thumb Sunday from areas that are having Spring. So let’s say this one is for the Aussies and I believe there is at least on New Zealander on the list too.Besides who doesn’t love a beautiful peony?

Most peonies have very attractive flowers and many are scented. This one however has no scent, not to my sensitive nose anyway. Another thing that I enjoy about peonies is that they often have lovely foliage, so throughout the growing season they continue to be attractive plants in the garden even though they may only bloom for a few weeks each year.

Of the four different peonies that I grow I think that this Karl Rosenfield Peony has the most gorgeous foliage. Just look at how lush and green it is. This a very attractive plant from it’s large feathery petaled blooms to it’s forest green leaves. I love it.
