I bought a bunch at a wholesale market on Friday and was shaking
my head at how expensive they were. The foliage looked wilted and I was
questioning my decision. Did I really need to indulge my love of them.
The guy at the
flower store said to cut off the unnecessary leaves and then assured me "They
are going to be beautiful, they just came in today."
I was skeptical of
both statements and thought to myself you'd make a good used car salesman.
Happily, I was proven
wrong. The peonies filled two vases and are glorious. Watching them slowly
unfurl was fascinating. Every time I looked at them this weekend, a smile came
to my face. Worth every penny.
