Peony ‘Krinkle White’. Rose ‘Just Joey’. Now why can these blooms stay like this forever?
Oh, and they’re both fragrant.
Update: On Prairie Home Companion this weekend, Garrison Keillor mentioned peonies in his news from Lake Wobegon. Something like: ” having a bouquet of peonies is like inviting a Las Vegas showgirl into your living room. They’re always surprising to find in a Christian home.”
I don’t have a Christian home, but peonies ARE outrageous and I welcome them.
