The peonies are blooming in our area but the heavy rains have them drooping over. I thought they would make a beautiful centerpiece for a tablescape.
What a wonderful aroma they have. When you bring them into the house it is just divine to sit at the table and enjoy their sweet smell.

Isn't this bright fuchsia color just fabulous?
My tablescape began with placemats purchased over a year ago from HomeGoods.
All year I have wanted to use these pink and green placemats, my green handled flatware was perfect to bring out the green the in placemats.
It was the centerpiece that was bugging me. What could I use? A walk through the yard and it was an easy decision; I must have been waiting for the peonies.
For a little change to the tablescape, I tried hummingbird plates.
The plates had pink and green, just the colors in the platemates.
Did you know cutting the peonies just before the bud open makes it easier to shake the ants off.
The perfect time to cut the peonies is when the bud is showing color and is as soft as a marshmallow.
When the diner party is over, the peonies can be moved to a new location for added enjoyment.
Hope you have some peonies to enjoy - Judy.
