Peonies and Astilbe

Peonies are becoming one of the most shown blooms on this blog, which suits me fine. Shown this time with astilbe, silver brunia and dusty miller. I must admit, I'm pretty happy about romantic flowers being trendy.

Dr. Sheila Carnett with an abundant bouquet of peonies and tulips. Below her "stand up gal" (matron wasn't cutting it) with pink and purple tulips that compliment her dress.

peonies and ranunculus

A familiar, pretty combination of peonies and ranunculus. If a flower, style or color story is particularly relevant It will show up here more often, it helps both brides and myself be more trend conscious. The bridal bouquet is of; pink peonies, white ranunculus and green button mums. The bridesmaids bouquet is a monobotanical arrangement of white ranunculus.

early peonies

Some early hot pink peonies, lavender hyacinths, green hydrangeas and some neat-o purple/wine colored ranunculus.  I love peonies small or big, I love them like a greedy pig, I love peonies smell so fair, chicks should wear them in their hair.

My friend Amber swears she had permission to cut these peonies off of her neighbor's bush. I choose to believe her. Hang out, arrange flowers.
