Sweet Peonies

I love the time of year when Peonies begin to bloom. They are so beautiful and they smell so sweet. I wish they lasted longer than they do. It's always an exciting surprise to walk around the side of my house and see their bright pink blooms.

I always pick at least one to place on the table beside our bed so I can wake up to the sweet smell.

Peonies have an interesting history, you can read about them here.
