When we moved into this house nearly 30 years ago, a kind neighbor walked us around the property pointing out some valuable plants that might not have been recognized. One was a tree peony. Sadly, it’s in our lower yard, in a corner that can’t be viewed easily from the house or our patio. One year when Matt was living here, he cut one of the flowers and floated it in a bowl. Ever since, that’s been our practice, so now we can enjoy the beautiful blooms for as long as they last on the tree.

In the Bowl
what a glorious flower…great tradition to bring one inside each year
beautiful bloom and a great way to enjoy it inside
What a beautiful pairing!
Oh that is a pretty flower – how nice to be able to enjoy it inside too.
Beautiful pictures of a beautiful flower. What a lovely idea too. It’s great to bring your own garden into the house.
Sure looks pretty in the bowl!
Beautiful & such a great way to enjoy the bloom!
Tree peony’s are so beautiful it is a shame the flowers don’t last very long. A good idea to bring one inside.
It’s beautiful. We do that too with a camellia flower
What a beautiful bloom. A lovely way to enjoy it.
Great tradition and nice pics. I only have shrub peonies and they aren’t out yet – budding up nicely though!
Peonies are so lovely! And the way you enjoy them is wonderful. Thanks for sharing that bit of natural beauty.
Cheers~
That’s a clever pairing – the delicacy of the blooms really shows up in your sharp shots.
Oh, so lovely!
