Peony Presence — Spring Bouquet #6
Our house is in a disrupted state. We’re long over due for interior painting. Everything is off the walls. Furniture is pushed to the center of rooms and drop cloths are everywhere. Workers play their favorite music as they spackle, sand, roll and brush. Greek Villa, by Sherwin Williams, coats the walls and ceilings and trim. The place looks new and fresh.
While I wait for the paint to dry, I take more pictures of the peonies from Westwind Flowers Farm & Studio Bouquet #6. This is the stage in the peony lifespan I love the most . . . when the petals begin to fall and the flower opens wide.
Peonies don’t perform for you. They invite you, entice you, and host you to a celebration of the senses. Fragrance, texture, color, curves, movement, abundance.
