Peony Bouquet

My peonies finally bloomed and now it's in the 90s and they're roasting so I picked one of each for a bouquet. I absolutely love these flowers. I am going to add some more unique peonies this fall to my collection, some yellows and definitely green halo. Would love any suggestions you guys have for unique additions. :)

    Nice bouquet! I’ve also been eyeing green halo

    I have bartzella and garden treasure for yellows, I haven’t seen golden treasure bloom yet but bartzella is really nice

    Thank you! I actually found Bartzella locally this weekend at my favorite nursery for $35. Couldn't pass that up. Also picked up 3 tree peonies, these will be my first ones but for $35 I couldn't not get them. I will have to look at Garden Treasure! And yes Green Halo looks gorgeous. That one has moved to the top of my WL now that I have Bartzella. :)

    $35 for Bartzella is a good deal! Tree peonies are also new to me, I had one bloom so far this year and the scent was incredible and the flowers were huge - it's interesting to see how different they grow from a standard herbaceous peony. I have my eye on a couple others as well; Candy Stripe, All That Jazz, Hillary, and of course Green Halo. Last year I added Lollipop which looks very unique - hasn't bloomed yet so I cannot say much about it. I did plant 'Do Tell' a couple years ago, that one is quite interesting as well

    That's what I thought - I couldn't pass up that deal. I wish they had more itohs but I will have to order some for this fall. Candy Stripe is gorgeous, I have Candy Heart but looks like Candy Stripe has a lot more pink/magenta than CH. Green Halo is so pretty, did you see there is also one called Green Lotus? The collector in me wants both but I think I'll start with Green Halo. :P


    Lollipop is very unique and beautiful! Wow!

    Candy heart is nice as well! I might need that one too. Green Lotus looks unique and I certainly don't blame you for wanting both lol - I think I prefer the GH over GL if I had to choose one. I hope lollipop turns out well, it looks stunning in pictures. This year my Kopper Kettle finally decided to grace me with some buds so I have my fingers crossed for that one as well.

    I am holding out till fall to see what I can grab at the end of season at some rock bottom prices, I already have close to 50 growing so I have to slow down with my additions
