Peony Profusion!

I'm happy to be joining Tabletop Tuesday with the flowers I enjoyed all weekend!

My boss's FIL had a peony farm and before it was sold 
her hubby transplanted many of the roots to their home. 
Every year she brings flowers in for the girls in the office-thanks Pat!
Being a flower farmer, now that's my idea of a great job!

Have a happy day!

    I got peonies for Mother's Day this year - my first. They are absolutely beautiful.

    I love your bouquet, and I agree on the flower farmer. It does sound lovely!

    A peony farm - now that sounds like a dream. I wish we could grow peonies here. Love the fragrance and so enjoy having peonies in our home as cut flowers when they are available in the stores. How lucky to have access to fresh peonies.

    Peonies are exquisite..and i never knew that there was such a thing as a peony farm..but it stands to reason, since i often see them for sale (very expensive) so what a lovely gesture from your boss...they are really gorgeous

    Yes! That is a great job! Beautiful flowers! I love the color of these, so pretty! I don't think I have ever smelled peonies before as they are not abundant in our area. So nice of your boss to share her flowers with all of you! Thanks so much for your kind comments on my post!

    What beautiful peonies. Would you believe it if I told you that I have never seen a real one before? They do not grow well in our area, but I have always enjoyed how beautiful they look in pictures.

    I love peonies -- yours remind me of my father who used to grow many of them. Just gorgeous. I appreciate your visits to my blog.

    You do have quite the profusion there. Very beautiful though! If I could find something that would keep the ants off the peonies here I would definitely get me some!

    these are fabulous!!! I am wishing that the peonies were in bloom here. They usually are this time of year-but it's been so cold-they are a little behind!
    Thanks for stopping by. I love your blog name-I had to come by because I was so intrigued! Then, I read your little blurb about your blog on your profile page-and I had to come over and see what a fabulous woman does to feed her soul. Beautiful words-so glad that you stopped by!

    Those peonies made my day. Just fabuloso!! We have had some white ones this year, quite fragrant though not long lasting. Jane F
