Bonjour ~ Peonies are my very favorite! Carries me away to gentle memories of precious time spent in my Grandmother's beautiful garden. And though we lost her this year, every time I see a peony, it's as if we are side by side walking through her garden, smiling at the wonderful colors and scents. Lovely post ~ Merci
