Pittsburgh’s Peony Season has Played
Until next year.
Peonies are perennials so will return next Spring. The peony blossoms seemed extra lush this year. And there were some varieties in the Highland Park Gardens I’d not seen before.
Peonies–“Peonies are usually sold as bare-root tubers with 3 to 5 eyes (buds), divisions of a 3- or 4-year-old plant” from the Farmers Almanac “Peonies are said to symbolize a happy life and a happy marriage”
Here is an article about the Biological Mutualism of Ants and Peonies. “It’s a myth that ants are necessary for peonies to bloom” (but they do love the nectar from Peonies)
Artist and fellow blogger from Just a Smidgen blog, paints gorgeous peony blossoms. Click to see her beautiful flower paintings.

Do you like the scent of lilacs?
I love the old fashioned look of lilacs in the white ironstone pitcher.
But do I like the scent of the bouquet in my house?
Reminded me of scent of Hyacinths at Easter.
Pretty intense.
