It's not just me...I know we all love peonies--I mean they're delicate, whimsical, & of course, beautiful. It doesn't hurt that they're pretty in pink too. 💗
Starting at the tail end of spring, I photographed the 2017 peonies around my home {various times of the day} & I thought to share a few {maybe a bit more than that 😗 } of my photos.
Also, I read {what I thought} was a great read about Peony Fun Facts on House Beautiful--here are a few of my favorite facts from my readings...
- While the blooms themselves seem to be {sadly} short lived the actual peony plant can live to be 100 plus years old!
- You should incorporate peonies into your bridal bouquet--they symbolize a happy and prosperous union.
- Gossip Girl Queen Bee, Blaire Waldorf's favorite flower is the peony!
- My favorite fact, peonies come in all colors!! Except blue--boo!
- My own personal fact, blogger j'adore peonies--especially me!
& You'll have to read this post I wrote a few months back featuring fine arts photographer, Lucy Cuneo's peony series on Martha Stewart Living. Feel free to pin away...

Peonies are absolutely beautiful, how can anyone not love them?! Then again, I haven't really met a flower I didn't like, haha. I didn't know they come in all colors except blue, that's so interesting. I've only ever seen them in pink and white, so I never thought they grew in other colors. Your garden must look absolutely gorgeous with all these peonies! Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a great weekend ahead!
