Peony Party

Vivacious, bold, dramatic, there is nothing quiet or understated about the peony. From their unburst globes urged open under trodding ant feet, through their spectacular pom-pom days, to the final throws of their explosive deaths, they are anything but subtle. They droop heavily under the weight of their massive blooms, and make the other flowers look so meek. Festive and lively and frivolous, just because they can.
