The month of May welcomes one of my all-time favorite flowers...the peony. The peony has to be one of the most wonderful flowers to watch evolve. You buy them in tight circular buds and a bloom slowly opens, then opens a little more, then opens so wide the petals have nowhere to go but back dive gracefully into a bloom-bursting oblivion.
Between you and I, the best place I've purchased peonies is Whole Foods. Despite their steep food prices and 'Whole Paycheck' reputation, their cut flowers are surprisingly reasonably priced. The types in the photograph below are semi-double and double peonies.
