Peonies

Blogger has erased (hopefully temporally) my pool post so thought I would replace it with my two favorite flowers out in my yard.

I had to pick this one this morning because the rain made it super saggy.

 

 

And of course the one stem with all the buds on it has bent pretty bad. It will soon be picked and enjoyed inside.

The lady at the nursery said not to pick them after 11am-anyone ever heard of this? Just about anyone knows more about peonies/flowers than me so I'll go with it. 

She also told me that if I want to postpone the bloomingof the buds that I can keep them in my fridge for up to a month.  I have much to learn!

  Hopefully the other buds will blossom  indoors okay.
