Peony Season Ends










































These are the final peonies from my garden.  I'm going to miss these showy pink ballet tutus that make your heart skip a beat.  The season is definitely too short.

    you can keep the unopened ones in the refrig for about 4 weeks, take out when ready and put in water— they open eventually. I've done it with mine and now have some after all the rain.

  3. Cris, I had heard that you could refrigerate them, but I picked mine as soon as they were ready and luckily it rained only when I had buds. Must plant more for next year.
